About ""Preise dein Glücke, gesegnetes Sachsen" Cantata, BWV 215 : J.S. Bach: "Preise dein Glücke, gesegnetes Sachsen" Cantata, BWV 215: 5. "Rase nur, verweg'ner Schwarm"" by David Wilson Johnson
Bach's aria 'Rase nur' scoffs at the raging enemy—a defiant, darting vocal line over restless strings. The tension crackles between bravado and genuine threat, the singer's taunt a shield raised against a swarm that will not quite disperse.
