Cantata 167 ‘Ihr Menschen, rühmet Gottes Liebe’ is for the feast of St John the Baptist on 24 June. Bach performed it on this date in 1723, shortly after his appointment as cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. The work comprises five movements: an aria, a duet, two recitatives and a final chorale. In terms of both concept and instrumentation the scope of the cantata is limited. In addition to strings and basso continuo only an oboe (or oboe da caccia) and trumpet (clarino) are required, merely to reinforce the vocal parts. The introductory aria ‘Ihr Menschen, rühmet Gottes Liebe’ sets the charming and pastoral mood of this cantata.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Artists: Netherlands Bach Collegium, Pieter Jan Leusink (conductor), Holland Boys Choir, Nico van der Meel (Tenore), Sytse Buwalda (Alto), Ruth Holton (Soprano) & Bas Ramselaar (Basso)
