"Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn' ihn" (All with God and Nothing Without) is an aria for soprano, strings, and basso continuo written in October 1713 by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was discovered on May 17, 2005 in the Duchess Anna Amalia Library. The work was written in honor of the 52nd birthday of Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, whom Bach served as court organist. The last time a previously unknown vocal work by Bach was discovered was in 1935.
However, because the work lasts only 12:20 and there were no other Bach premieres to fill up the disc, the remainder of the program consists of 10 movements drawn from various Bach sacred cantatas performed by the Monteverdi Choir, the English Baroque Soloists, and a host of vocal and instrumental soloists all under the direction of John Eliot Gardiner. Although the prospect of 10 seemingly random movements might appear daunting at first, they are in fact arranged into a kind of pastiche cantata of amazing aesthetic effectiveness. More importantly, the tender and intimate interpretations of Gardiner and his forces make each moment of each movement astonishingly emotionally affecting. Monteverdi Productions' sound is warm and close.
Cette découverte sensationnelle - la première depuis 1935 -, a réjoui le monde musical. L’aria, dénichée à la Bibliothèque Anna Amalia de Weimer, est composée de 12 vers. Écrite pour soprano solo, cordes et basse continue, elle s’ouvre sur les mots « Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn’ ihn » (« Tout avec Dieu et rien sans lui »). Elle a été composée en 1713 pour souligner le 52e anniversaire de naissance du Duc Wilhelm Ernst de Saxe-Weimar, employeur de Bach de 1708 à 1717 alors qu’il était organiste pour la cour.
