Aria "Schlummert ein, ihr matten augen" from Cantata 82, Ich habe genug
Bach's cantatas contain all types of pieces: recitatives, arias, choruses, and even instrumental pieces. This example of an aria is from a cantata telling the story of Simeon, who wishes only to see the Messiah before he dies. Here the text, which speaks of a heavenly sleep, is lovingly realized in music.
