INTRODUCTION by Ludwig Finscher

»Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan« (BWV 98) was composed for the 21th Sunday after Trinity 1726 (10th November), and thus chronologically is the second of the three Bach cantatas on this text (BWV 99 was written in 1724, and BWV 100 around 1732/35). The anonymous text links up the introductory hymn verse with two freely written recitatives and arias which paraphrase the basic concept of the Sunday gospel (God helps those in distress who believe in him). A concluding chorus ts lacking, so that an approach is made in form to the normal shape of the secular chamber cantata. The chamber musical intimacy suggested by this also marks the composition detail. The introductory chorus (in B-flat major) encompasses the simple choral movement, emphatically extended only in the concluding line, with a just as simple string movement entirely dominated by the concertante first violin. The soprano aria (in C minor) in elegiac tones sings of patience in suffering, graphically transposing the antithesis of weeping and living. The bass aria (in B-flat major) is enriched by the fact that the thoroughbass also participates in the motif work. Furthermore it hints at the lacking concluding chorus by rendering in slightly ornamented form in the first line the text belonging to the choral melody (Meinen Jesum lass ich nicht) - the voice of the individual and voice of the congregation in unison.
