Motet: Furchite dich nicht
Third of a series of programmes of music by Bach. devised by Basil Lam
Even the first of Bach's biographers admitted that the four motets for double chorus were in every way unsurpassed. ' Furchte dich nicht ' is probably the finest of the four and was composed when Bach was less busy than usual with the routine production of church cantatas. Its first performance may have taken place early in 1726, during the commemorative service for Frau Winckler , wife of the inspector of the town arsenal, Leipzig. The sermon preached by Salomo Deyling on this occasion was based on the text Bach used in his motet: ' Fear not, for I have redeemed thee ' (Isaiah 43). Denis Stevens
