BWV 68/5

Fugue Wer an ihn gläubet, der wird nicht gerichtet - 1725 - Pentecost 2

A strict double fugue in the stile antico. The two themes evoke the juxtaposition of belief and unbelief and their consequences: heaven and hell
The structure of the fugue is as follows:
m. 01 - 17 Exposition (I):
the ‘belief theme’ heard successively in the bass, tenor, alto and soprano. The countersubject is derived from theme II.
m. 17 - 32 Exposition (II):
the ‘theme of unbelief’ presented successively in the reverse order of soprano, alto, tenor and bass.
m. 33 - 57 Conclusion (III)
in which the themes are combined. Following the 'theme of unbelief', the 'theme of belief' is heard again, in bar 33. The supposed number symbolism inherent in Bach's music is a theory not entirely without its detractors. Nevertheless, this may refer to the fact that Christ died in his 33rd year! The order in which the voices are introduced illustrates the text: in the first exposition the voices climb from ‘earth to heaven’ while in the second the voices fall from ‘earth to hell’. In this way Bach illustrates the creed in an elaborate manner.
