Geist und Seele wird verwirret (BWV 35): first aria
Update: 2024-09-23
Description
The organ, a sacred sound, gets an unusual role in this cantata for solo voice. We hear the organ leaping all over with a virtuoso part against violins and oboes and the alto soloist. There is no better way to convey the rich concept of the "confused joy" of the believer who witnesses miracles.
In this cantata, which took place during the Sunday where the story is read of Jesus healing the deaf and mute, Bach sets his poet's words:
Spirit and soul become confused,
when they gaze on Thee, my God.
For the miracles they know,
And which the people tell with joy,
have made them deaf and mute.
Geist und Seele... from BWV 35, as performed by the Netherlands Bach Society
