J. S. Bach: Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm, BWV 171 The Church Cantatas, Vol. 182

The sixmovement Cantata 171 Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm is a New Years Cantata, probably composed for 1 January 1729. The strict and archaic opening chorus thanks its familiarity to the fact that Bach used it again in 1748, 49 for the Patrem omnipotentem in the Credo of the Mass in B Minor. Here the first of the three trumpets has a solo role. But the cantata is in turn borrowed: the soprano aria No. 4 is an adaptation of the ninth movement of the Birthday Cantata 205, and the final chorale is the same as that of Cantata 41.
