About this Event
A clarion call for hopeful generosity, Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot (“Break with hungry men thy bread”), BWV 39 premiered on June 23, 1726 as part of Bach’s third cantata cycle. The 7-part work has a beautifully symmetrical form. It opens with a chorus, followed by a bass recitative and alto aria. Next, a bass solo with text from the gospel anchors the center of the piece, followed by a soprano aria and bass recitative, and the final chorale. In addition to the typical period-size orchestra, this piece also features two recorders. Beginning with a lively, yet anguished ritornello, the piece finishes in a rapturous mood in an unusual 3 / 8 meter.
