"Mein gläubiges Herze" by Johann Sebastian Bach | Saint Michael's Choir

'Mein gläubiges Herze, frohlocke, sing, scherzo, Dein Jesus ist da!' (My believing heart, exult, sing, joke, your Jesus is there!) Bach rarely sounds more unbuttoned with joy than in this radiant aria. Borrowed and transformed from his secular "Hunt Cantata" BWV 208, the music dances with irrepressible energy - now no longer celebrating fields and gamboling sheep, but a heart made glad through faith. The leaping bass line feels pastoral in its buoyancy, while the violoncello piccolo sings with luminous warmth - an instrument Bach often associates with Christ’s presence dwelling within the believer. What was once rustic exuberance becomes theological certainty: faith that laughs, breathes, and overflows. Our Staff Singer, Danielle Harrington’s soprano soars with clarity and joy, in partnership with Eric Mun’s luminous cello piccolo and Andrew Flory’s rhythmic and zesty theorbo - a chamber-like intimacy for music that feels like pure sunlight.
