INTRODUCTION by Nele Anders

The wedding cantata "Dem Gerechten muß das Licht immer wieder aufgehn" (BWV 195) exists in three different versions, composed at different times. Originally composed circa 1727 for "4 \/oci / 3 Trombe / Tamburi / 2 Hautbois e / Flauti / 2 Violini / Viola / e / Continuo," it was revised for a repeat performance circa 1742. A further performance took place at some time between August 1748 and October 1749. For this occasion, Bach cut movements 6-8, and added in his own handwriting and "in the ponderous style of his old age" (H. J. Schulze) as a new sixth movement the two stanzas of the Paul Gerhardt chorale "Nun danket all und bringet Ehr" (1647) to the score, set to the melody "Lob Gott, ihr Christen, alle gleich" (Praise God, O Christians, one and all). In keeping with the occasion, "rectidude" and "graciousness" are praised, and Godßs blessing is asked for the future state of matrimony. In compliance with the ceremonial laid down in the church regulations, one part (Nos. 1-5) was heard before the actual wedding, and the other part (No. 6) afterwards. The festive character of the composition is emphasized by a large orchestra, two vocal soloists and the division of the choir into a solo and a ripieno choir, while the aria framed by two recitatives, with its catchy, dance-like melody gives eloquent expression tothe sense of rejoicing over the bond of matrimony now forged.
