Motet No.4 Fürchte dich nicht, ich bin bei dir

Fürchte dich nicht, ich bin bei dir for two four-part mixed choirs A major BWV 228

All of Bach’s six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas’Church, Leipzig, where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period, Bach composed most of his cantatas, and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets fromthe seventeenth century tradition, reserving his own motet compositions for special occasions.
