BWV 4 is one of Bach's very first cantatas, but the ideas he laid down would go on to define Western music. One of the most incredible details is the three-note motive he identified in a Lutheran hymn with ancient German origins that perfectly mirrors the death and resurrection in this Easter cantata.

It's EVERYWHERE! Check out our latest blog to take a deep dive into the extraordinary inner workings of Bach's musical mind.

The musical ideas that Bach set forth in his singular first-day-of-Easter cantata were bold and expansive, and it set the bar for Lutheran church music and choral techniques for centuries to come.

Bach probably wanted to strangle a few musicians in his life, but he rarely got a chance to do it on stage. Here's how he got his revenge on the baritone soloist in BWV 4😮

Our Season Opener is just around the corner! Bach wrote this when he was a brash 22-year-old virtuoso looking to make a splash—and it's one of his best (and a James Kim favorite!).
