Cantata "Ich habe genug" BWV 82: 3. Aria: Schlummert ein, ihr matten Augen
Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a … Read Full Bio ↴Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations, and vocal music such as the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Since the 19th-century Bach Revival he has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.
The Bach family already counted several composers when Johann Sebastian was born as the last child of a city musician in Eisenach. Having become an orphan at age 10, he lived for five years with his eldest brother, after which he continued his musical formation in Lüneburg. From 1703 he was back in Thuringia, working as a musician for Protestant churches in Arnstadt and Mühlhausen and, for longer stretches of time, at courts in Weimar—where he expanded his repertoire for the organ—and Köthen—where he was mostly engaged with chamber music. From 1723 he was employed as Thomaskantor (cantor at St. Thomas) in Leipzig. He composed music for the principal Lutheran churches of the city, and for its university's student ensemble Collegium Musicum. From 1726 he published some of his keyboard and organ music. In Leipzig, as had happened in some of his earlier positions, he had a difficult relation with his employer, a situation that was little remedied when he was granted the title of court composer by the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland in 1736. In the last decades of his life he reworked and extended many of his earlier compositions. He died of complications after eye surgery in 1750.
Bach enriched established German styles through his mastery of counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and his adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include hundreds of cantatas, both sacred and secular. He composed Latin church music, Passions, oratorios and motets. He often adopted Lutheran hymns, not only in his larger vocal works, but for instance also in his four-part chorales and his sacred songs. He wrote extensively for organ and for other keyboard instruments. He composed concertos, for instance for violin and for harpsichord, and suites, as chamber music as well as for orchestra. Many of his works employ the genres of canon and fugue.
Throughout the 18th century Bach was primarily valued as an organist, while his keyboard music, such as The Well-Tempered Clavier, was appreciated for its didactic qualities. The 19th century saw the publication of some major Bach biographies, and by the end of that century all of his known music had been printed. Dissemination of scholarship on the composer continued through periodicals and websites exclusively devoted to him, and other publications such as the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV, a numbered catalogue of his works) and new critical editions of his compositions. His music was further popularised through a multitude of arrangements, including for instance the Air on the G String, and of recordings, for instance three different box sets with complete performances of the composer's oeuvre marking the 250th anniversary of his death.

Ich habe genug, v
Ich habe den Heiland, das Hoffen der Frommen,
Auf meine begierigen Arme genommen;
Ich habe genug!
It is enough.
I have held the Savior, the hope of all peoples,
In the warm embrace of my arms.
It is enough.
Ich hab ihn erblickt,
Mein Glaube hat Jesum ans Herze gedrückt;
Nun wünsch ich, noch heute mit Freuden
Von hinnen zu scheiden.
I have seen him,
My faith has impressed Jesus on my heart;
Now I wish this very day
To depart from here with joy.

Ich habe genug.
Mein Trost ist nur allein,
Dass Jesus mein und ich sein eigen möchte sein.
Im Glauben halt ich ihn,
Da seh ich auch mit Simeon
Die Freude jenes Lebens schon.
Laßt uns mit diesem Manne ziehn!
Ach! möchte mich von meines Leibes Ketten
Der Herr erretten;
Ach! wäre doch mein Abschied hier,
Mit Freuden sagt ich, Welt, zu dir:
Ich habe genug.
It is enough.
My one consolation is this:
That I am Jesus’ beloved and he is mine.
In faith, I hold him.
For in Simeon, I already see
The joy of life to come.
Let us go forth with Simeon!
Ah! if only the Lord
Would free me from my body’s enslavement;
Ah! if indeed my liberation were soon,
With joy I would say to you, O World,
It is enough.

Violino I/II, Viola, Continuo
Schlummert ein, ihr matten Augen,
Fallet sanft und selig zu!
Slumber, my weary eyes,
Fall softly and close in contentment.
Welt, ich bleibe nicht mehr hier,
Hab ich doch kein Teil an dir,
Das der Seele könnte taugen.
O World, I will linger here no more.
For indeed, I find nothing in you
Pleasing to my soul.
Hier muss ich das Elend bauen,
Aber dort, dort werd ich schauen
Süßen Friede, stille Ruh.
Here I am resigned to misery,
But there, there I shall feel
Sweet peace and quiet rest.

Mein Gott! wann kömmt das schöne: Nun!
Da ich im Friede fahren werde
Und in dem Sande kühler Erde
Und dort bei dir im Schoße ruhn?
Der Abschied ist gemacht,
Welt, gute Nacht!
My God! When will I hear that precious word: “Now!”
Then I will depart in peace,
And rest both here in the humus of the cool earth
And there within your bosom.
My departure is at hand,
O World, good night!

Ich freue mich auf meinen Tod,
Ach, hätt er sich schon eingefunden.
With gladness, I look forward to my death,
(Ah! if only it had already come.)
Da entkomm ich aller Not,
Die mich noch auf der Welt gebunden.
Then shall I escape all despair
That still enslaves me now on earth.

"Ich habe genug" means "I have enough",
or, it may mean "I have had enough of this".
The most beautiful of Bach´s cantatas.
He might have been in the same situation as many composers a few centuries ago. It was obligatory to use religious subject matter if you wanted to have your music out in the open.
Thus, very many excellent multi-tasked musical endeavors had to be masked to religious texts.
Especially in oratorios, choir works.
Very good music is very good music, even hundreds of years later.

Nach 50 Jahren ist diese Aufnahme meines Erachtens immer noch die beste, die es gibt...

Stimmlich und farblich ist jene von Hans Hotter (als Bassbariton) und dem Chicago Symphony Orchestra nich besser, wenngleich an manchen Stellen äußerst unrhytmisch.
Fischer Dieskau ist unübertroffen in seiner Präzision und stilistischen Sicherheit sowie der astreinen Intonation und Aussprache. Vor allem bei Bach zeigt er manchmal unglaublichen Tiefgang, jedoch nicht immer. Beeindruckend mit Dieskau sind die Kreuzstabkantate sowie die Arien der Matthäuspassion.
@gabiheintz4001
Sehe ich auch so. Vor allem, weil damals die unerträgliche Mode der gehetzten Tempi und der angeblich "historisch informierten" Wiedergabe (ohne Vibrato und in der Art kurzer Bögen - schwupp-schwupp - ) noch nicht "in" war...
@giacomokim3877
Den Herr lebendiger Gott fühle ich durch dieser Meisterwerk ! Danke
@primusspectator4391
Самая любимая кантата! И самая любимая ария Ich habe genug! Покорён этой гениальной музыкой с 14 лет и на всю жизнь. И впервые слушал её именно в этом исполнении. Фишер-Дискау - потрясающий музыкант. Но каков гобоист Манфред Клемент! Под стать певцу. Соло гобоя просто переворачивает душу. Вечная благодарность Баху и великим исполнителям великой музыки.

Absolutely.
