{{lang|de|Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben}} (Fall with thanks, fall with praise),{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=157}} {{abbr|BWV|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (catalogue of Bach's works)}}{{nbsp}}248 IV,{{sfn|Bach Digital|2018}} is a Christmas cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1734 for New Year's Day of 1735 as Part IV of his Christmas Oratorio. The day is the feast of the circumcision and naming of Jesus. It is based on a libretto by an unknown author, and tells the naming of Jesus from the Nativity of Jesus, according to the Gospel of Luke.

Bach structured the work in seven movements, and scored it for three vocal soloists, a four-part choir, and a festive Baroque orchestra with horns, oboes and strings. The opening chorus and the two arias are based on his earlier secular cantata {{lang|de|Laßt uns sorgen, laßt uns wachen, BWV 213|italic=unset}}, composed for the 11th birthday of the crown-prince of Saxony on 5 September 1733.

The tenor soloist narrates the biblical verse in recitative as the Evangelist. The choir sings the elaborate opening movement and the closing chorale, a four-part setting of a stanza from Johann Rist's "Hilf, Herr Jesu, laß gelingen". Four solo movements reflect the name of Jesus, and life for him. Bach led the first performances at the two main churches of Leipzig in a morning service and a vespers service on 1 January 1735.

Background and text

Bach composed {{lang|de|Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben}} in 1734, eleven years after he became Thomaskantor in Leipzig, director of music in major churches in the town in the Electorate of Saxony. The cantata forms Part IV of his Christmas Oratorio which was performed on six occasions of Christmastide, beginning with Part I on Christmas Day:{{sfn|Bach Digital|2018}}

  • Part I, Jauchzet, frohlocket!, for Christmas Day (25 December): Nativity of Jesus
  • Part II for the Second Day of Christmas (26 December): Annunciation to the shepherds, Glory to God, peace on earth
  • Part III for the Third Day of Christmas (27 December): Adoration of the shepherds
  • Part IV, Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben, for New Year's Day (1 January): Naming of Jesus
  • Part V for the first Sunday after New Year's Day: Biblical Magi
  • Part VI for Epiphany (6 January): Adoration of the Magi

The prescribed readings for the feast day were from the Epistle to the Galatians, by faith we inherit ({{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Galatians|chapter=3|verse=23|range=–29}}), and from the Gospel of Luke, the ritual circumcision and naming of Jesus eight days after his birth ({{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Luke|chapter=2|verse=21}}).{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=m9JuwslMcq4C&pg=PA144 144]}}

The librettist of the text is unknown; scholars debate if he was Picander who had collaborated with Bach before.{{sfn|Bach Digital|2018}}{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=104}} After an opening chorus, the Evangelist narrates the short gospel about the naming of Jesus from the Gospel of Luke. It is reflected in the following movements, recitative and arias. Bach structured the work in nine movements, and scored it for four vocal parts and a festive Baroque orchestra with two natural horns, oboes and strings. Several movements rely on music which he had composed earlier, from the secular cantata {{lang|de|Laßt uns sorgen, laßt uns wachen, BWV 213|italic=unset}} (Let us take care, let us watch over), a dramma per musica describing the story of "Hercules at the Crossroads", written for 11th birthday of Crown Prince Friedrich Christian of Saxony and first performed on 5 September 1733.{{sfn|Wessel|2015|p=47}}{{sfn|Bach Digital 213|2018}}

The tenor soloist narrates the verse from Martin Luther's translation of the Bible in recitative as the Evangelist ({{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Luke|chapter=2|verse=21}}). Bach incorporates two chorales, two stanzas from "Jesu, du mein liebstes Leben" by Johann Rist for a soprano complement to bass recitatives, and the 15 stanza of the same hymnist's "Hilf, Herr Jesu, laß gelingen" which the choir sings in a four-part setting with independent orchetra.{{sfn|Bach Digital|2018}}{{sfn|Rathey|2016|p=152}}

Bach led the first performance at the Nikolaikirche with Thomanerchor in a morning service on New Year's Day 1735, repeated in a vespers service at the Thomaskirche the same day.{{sfn|Hofmann|2005|p=4}}

Music

Scoring and structure

The cantata is structured in seven movements;{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|pp=157–159}} an extended choral movement expresses the call to fall down with thanks and praise; a short recitative informs about the naming of Jesus on the day of his circumcision; four movements reflect on the name of Jesus in meditation and prayer,{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=m9JuwslMcq4C&pg=PA104 104]}} and the cantata closes with an affirming chorale.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}

The work features three vocal soloists, a four-part choir ({{abbr|SATB|soprano, alto, tenor and bass}}) and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of two natural horns (Co), two oboes (Ob), two violins (Vl), viola (Va) and basso continuo.{{sfn|Bischof|2018}} The duration is given as 27 minutes.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=157}} The music in F major is dominated by two horns and has a more intimate character than the outer parts of the oratorio with bright trumpets.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=157}}

In the following table, the movement numbers of the Christmas Oratorio are added in brackets. The scoring follows the {{lang|de|Neue Bach-Ausgabe}} (New Bach Edition). The keys and time signatures are from Alfred Dürr, and use the symbol for common time.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|pp=157–159}} The continuo, played throughout, is not shown.

Movements

1

The opening chorus, "{{lang|de|Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben vor des Höchsten Gnadenthron!|italic=no}}" (With gratitude, with praise, fall before the Almighty's throne of grace!),{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} is a complex long form (ABA'). The instrumental ritornello is dominated by two natural horns.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}

The voices enter in unison. In the middle section, the vocal lines are also mostly homophonic. The last section uses the material from the first section, but differently.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}

2

The tenor sings in a secco recitative the only verse from the biblical Christmas story, "{{lang|de|Und da acht Tage um waren, dass das Kind beschnitten würde|italic=no}}" (And when eight days had passed, when the child would be circumcised),{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} after Luke 2:21.

3

In a combination of recitative and chorale, the bass recitative, {{lang|de|Wer will die Liebe recht erhöhn|italic=no}} (Who can rightly exalt this love),{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} is commented line by line with the first stanza from Rist's hymn "{{lang|de|Jesu, du mein liebstes Leben|italic=no}}" (Jesus, o my dearest life).{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} The voices are supported by strings.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}

4

In the central soprano da capo aria, "{{lang|de|Flößt, mein Heiland, flößt dein Namen auch den allerkleinsten Samen jenes strengen Schreckens ein?|italic=no}}" (O my Savior, does your name instill even the very tiniest seed of that powerful terror?),{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} the singer asks Jesus two question, and imagines the answers as "no" and "yes", illustrated in the form of an echo-aria. An oboe is the obbligato instrument.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}

5

In symmetry to the third movement, another bass recitative, {{lang|de|Wohlan, dein Name soll allein in meinem Herzen sein!|italic=no}} (Well then, Your name alone shall be in my heart!),{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} is commented by another stanza, "{{lang|de|Jesu, meine Freud und Wonne|italic=no}}" (Jesus, my joy and delight){{sfn|Dellal|2018}} from the same hymn.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=105}} The voices are again supported by strings.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}

6

The tenor aria, {{lang|de|Ich will nur dir zu Ehren leben|italic=no}} (I will live only for Your honor),{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} expresses eagerness to live only for the honour of Jesus. It is a fugal trio composition with two solo violins.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}

7

The cantata is closed with the chorale "{{lang|de|Jesus richte mein Beginnen,|italic=no}}" (May Jesus order my beginning),{{sfn|Dellal|2018}}{{sfn|Dahn|2018}} the 15th stanza of Rist's hymn "{{lang|de|Hilf, Herr Jesu, laß gelingen|italic=no}}".{{sfn|Dellal|2018}} All instruments play interludes which recall the opening movement.{{sfn|Dürr|Jones|2006|p=159}}
