About "Freue dich, erlöste Schar, Cantata BWV 30 : J.S. Bach: Freue dich, erlöste Schar, Cantata BWV 30: V. "Kommt, ihr angefochtnen Sünder"" by Anna Reynolds

Closing BWV 30's middle section, Reynolds invites the 'tempted sinners' with a warmth that refuses judgment. The aria's lilting gait suggests a welcome rather than a warning, the alto's tone a hearth in winter. Bach's music here is patient, a door held open against the wind of human frailty.
