Who's behind the notes? Discover Johann Sebastian Bach: Master of Baroque Music
This expressive soprano aria from Bach's sacred cantata BWV 105 features striking chromaticism and tremolo string effects that vividly depict the anxiety of a sinner before divine judgment. The oboe obbligato intertwines with the vocal line to create a sense of restless desperation, exemplifying Bach's ability to translate theological concepts into profound musical imagery within the Lutheran tradition.
