Description
The chorale text of Herr, ich denk an jene Zeit, BWV 329 – recorded here for All of Bach with singers of the Netherlands Bach Society – emphasises personal mortality, and is ‘standard Lutheran’. In his polished harmonisation, Bach also gives no clues for a specific interpretation, apart from briefly highlighting the word ‘Sterblichkeit’, by putting a dissonant on the first syllable for the soprano and alto.
