Description
The chorale ‘Lob, Ehr und Preis sei Gott’ – recorded here for All of Bach with Shunske Sato – is the energetic closing piece of Bach’s shortest cantata of all, Nun danket alle Gott, BWV 192. It is also one of his most festive cantatas. The praise of the Holy Trinity sounds sparkling and lively thanks to the 12/8 time signature of the gigue. Bach pulls out all the stops: alongside the strings, Bach also wrote parts for two oboes and two flutes, which creates a lavish sound.
