'Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan', performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, originated in Bach’s second year in Leipzig. He was working at the time on a complete series of ‘chorale cantatas’, taking inspiration each week from a wellknown hymn. He usually used the words of the first and last verses literally and arranged the inbetween verses to suit the sermon of the day – in this case, the Sermon on the Mount.
