Summary
Works performed (all by J. S. Bach)
Ne te scandalise pas, ô mon âme [Argre dich, o Seele, nicht, from BWV 186, Argre dich, o Seele, nicht]
Disparaissez, ombres de l’hiver [Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten, from BWV 202, Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten]
Nous te remercions et te louons, Seigneur [Wir danken und preisen dein brünstiges Lieben, from BWV 134, Ein Herz, das seinen Jesum lebend]
Où veille un bon berger, le troupeau peut pâturer sans crainte [Schafe können sicher weiden, from BWV 208, Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd]
Heureux celui qui a trouvé son Sauveur [Wohl aber dem, der seinen Bürgen weiß, from BWV 105, Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht]
Adagio and Allegro (instrumental) [likely from the Sonata in G major, BWV 1039]
Tu ne voulais pas livrer à l’ennemi l’âme de ta tourterelle [Du wollest dem Feinde nicht geben, from BWV 71, Gott ist mein König]
O Dieu ne me repousse pas [Mein Gott, verwirf mich nicht, from BWV 105, Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht]
Comme elles trembles et chancellent, les pensées du pécheur [Wie zittern und wanken der Sünder Gedanken, from BWV 105, Herr, gehe nicht ins Gericht]
Ta colère longtemps contenue, éclate comme l’orage [Dein Wetter zog sich auf von weiten, from BWV 46, Schauet doch und sehet]
Repos bienheureux [Vergnügte Ruh’, beliebte Seelenlust, from BWV 170, Vergnügte Ruh’, beliebte Seelenlust]
Bénis ceux qui s’endorment dans la paix du Seigneur [Der Tod’ bleibt doch — Selig sind die Toten, from BWV 60, O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort]
C’en est assez; quand il te plaira, appelle-moi, Seigneur [Es ist genug, from BWV 60, O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort]
The works that you are going to hear are excerpts from J. S. Bach's cantatas. Those who know how often he transported arias from one cantata to another will not be offended by this choice, which is, please believe us, not at all arbitrary. These works have been grouped in a particular way so as to present the essential themes that occupied Bach's thoughts and the principal forms he adopted to express them.
