BWV 15: Denn du nwirst meine Seele nicht in der Holle Lassen

BWV 15: For you shall not leave my soul in Hell

This one is thought to be composed by Bach's cousin, Johann Ludwig Bach, likely in 1704, but possibly performed under Bach's baton in 1726. A song for Eastertide. I really like that word and feel like I should work it into my vocabulary this spring.

Part 1/2

This doesn't sound a lot like the other cantatas that I've been listening to. It's very simple, beautiful but simple.


Part 2/2 

Nice duet. Worth a listen. Both parts sound so rigid after spending so much time with polyphenous noodly works.
