Who's behind the notes? Discover Johann Sebastian Bach: Master of Baroque Music
BWV 189 "Meine Seele rühmt und preist" is a church cantata composed for the Feast of the Visitation of Mary. While traditionally attributed to Bach, some scholars believe it might be the work of Georg Melchior Hoffmann, with Bach possibly reworking it. The aria "Gott hat sich hoch gesetzet" features beautiful melodic lines typical of the Baroque period, with expressive vocal writing accompanied by delicate instrumental textures.
