The DWR Friday Baroque Interlude – Cantata BWV 112 “Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt” – Bach

April 24, 2026 in Music | Tags: The DWR Friday Baroque Interlude - Cantata BWV 112 "Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt" - Bach | by The Arbourist | Leave a comment

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt, BWV 112 (1731), written for Good Shepherd Sunday, is a quietly luminous pastoral setting of Psalm 23 that trades drama for steady assurance. Built on a Lutheran chorale paraphrase, the cantata unfolds in a single, unified affect: gently lilting rhythms, warm oboe d’amore lines, and clear chorale textures create a sense of unhurried guidance rather than struggle. The opening chorus sets the tone with a flowing, almost dance-like calm; inner movements draw the listener inward through intimate arias and a brief recitative; and a simple closing chorale returns the music to communal ground. It is Bach at his most restrained and confident—less concerned with conflict than with the quiet, sustaining idea of trust.
