The links between J.S. Bach and those offices that required from him the production of church music -- sacred cantatas, organ music, etc. -- were, if not broken altogether, very much weakened during his years as Kapellmeister at Cöthen (1718-23) (where the Prince loved chamber music and was bored by sacred music); not surprisingly, Bach produced very little such music during those years.

Bach and those offices that required from him the production of church music -- sacred cantatas, organ music, etc. -- were, if not broken altogether, very much weakened during his years as Kapellmeister at Cöthen (1718-23) (where the Prince loved chamber music and was bored by sacred music); not surprisingly, Bach produced very little such music during those years. There is, however, a body of secular cantatas from Cöthen which shows that, although separated from liturgical necessity, the composer still cultivated an interest in the musical genre that would later characterize his religious works. One of these, Cantata No. 202, Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten, BWV 202 (the Wedding Cantata), showcases the occasional, dramatic quality of these works. BWV 202 is actually one of three secular cantatas designed for use at wedding celebrations (the others are Cantatas Nos. 210 and 216, the latter of which has only partially survived); but its fame is such that it alone has earned the popular name Wedding Cantata. The author of the cantata's text remains unknown; it might have been Salomon Franck, or possibly C.F. Hunold. The nine musical numbers -- four arias (all but one of which are da capo arias), three recitatives, one recitativo and arioso, and a final, happy Gavotte -- are scored for solo soprano, oboe, strings, and basso continuo, and celebrate the dawning of both spring and love. It is principally the text that distinguishes this cantata from Bach's sacred cantatas for solo voice; formally, the arias and secco recitatives are structured identically to their liturgical fellows. The second aria, "Phoebus eilt mit schnellen Pferden," (Phoebus hurries with swift horses) with its bustling continuo accompaniment, is a vividly melismatic depiction of warm breezes hurrying through the reborn world. Although originally written for Soprano & Continuo, I created this arrangement for Oboe & Cello.
