The solo cantata “Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen” BWV 56 was first performed on 27 October 1726, the 19th Sunday after Trinity. The author of the text is unknown, but he was apparently inspired by Erdmann Neumeister‘s “Ich will den Kreuzweg gerne gehen” from the latter’s cantata text collection of 1711.
“Ich habe genung” BWV 82 was composed for the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary on 2 February 1727. The author of the text is also onknown.
The cantata “Der Friede sei mit dir” BWV 158 survives with designations for two liturgical occasions (Purification/Third Day of Easter) in a manuscript copied by a reliable scribe shortly after Bach‘s death. The origins of the work are therefore uncertain, but most likely it represents an expansion of a solo cantata originally written (like BWV 82) for the Marian Feast of Purification on 2 February.
“Amore traditore” BWV 203, in the typical format (aria-recitative-aria) of the Italian secular solo cantata, is based on an anonymous text that was also set by the Neapolitan composer Nicola Fago.
In 2006, Ton Koopman was awarded the Bach Medal by the city of Leipzig in recognition of his major contribution to Bach performance and scholarship.
