BWV 171 Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm is equally magnificent as a cantata, replete with emotional and thematic contrast. As the tenor pleads for salvation in BWV 153 Schau, lieber Gott, wie meine Feind, crying ‘…help, Helper, help! Save my soul!’, we are reminded that our afflictions have been heard as the alto sings of the ‘blessed rapture and eternal joy’ of heaven.
BWV 58 Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid II continues this theme of the beleaguered Christian. This is beautifully illustrated through the use of the distressed, persecuted soul (soprano) in dialogue with a guardian angel, by implication, Jesus (bass).
