Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Cantata 99 - J.S. Bach
Today's Wednesday chorale (sorry about that) is an old favorite. Many of you will recall it from an all-Bach show we did in Spring, 2014. It's the final chorale from Cantata 99: Was Gott tut das ist wohlgetan.
Here's a link to the entire cantata on YouTube. You gotta check out the first movement, with the cantus firmus over the soprano, accompanied by the rest of the choir, with introductory and connecting concerto-like sections from the orchestra. It will make you happy. The final chorale is a wonderful, straight-ahead 4-part harmonization.
