Komm, Jesu, komm (Come, Jesus, come), BWV 229, is a motet by Johann Sebastian Bach, with a text by Paul Thymich. It was composed in Leipzig, and received its first performance by 1731–1732. Bach scored the motet for double choir. It was probably composed for a funeral, as were others of his motets but exact dates of composition and performance are not known. It is his only motet without biblical text. He set a poem by Paul Thymich, which Johann Schelle set as a funeral aria in 1684. Also unusually, the motet is not closed by a chorale, but by an aria which is harmonized like a chorale.

  • Komm, Jesu, komm (Come, Jesus, come), BWV 229, is a motet by Johann Sebastian Bach, with a text by Paul Thymich. It was composed in Leipzig, and received its first performance by 1731–1732. Bach scored the motet for double choir. It was probably composed for a funeral, as were others of his motets but exact dates of composition and performance are not known. It is his only motet without biblical text. He set a poem by Paul Thymich, which Johann Schelle set as a funeral aria in 1684. Also unusually, the motet is not closed by a chorale, but by an aria which is harmonized like a chorale. The work has been described as having a confident, intimate and tender character, and making more use of polychorality (interplay of the two choirs) than polyphony (interplay of the voices). It also contains a small section of fugato set to the text 'Komm, ich will mich dir ergeben'. The theme of the text is death as the happy moment when man, tired of earthly life, can confide in Jesus, who is seen as Truth and Life and the only way to eternal life. (en)
  • Komm, Jesu, komm (Viens, Jésus, viens !), BWV 229, est un motet de Jean-Sébastien Bach composé à Leipzig avant 1732. C'est un motet funèbre à double chœur dont on ne connaît pas précisément les dates de composition et d'exécution, ni sa destination. C'est le seul motet qui ne contienne aucun texte de la Bible : son texte est de (en), déjà utilisé pour une aria funèbre de Johann Schelle en 1684. Une autre particularité est qu'il ne contient pas de choral, dont la mélodie est traditionnelle, mais une aria harmonisée à la manière d'un choral mais dans un style plus libre, et dont la mélodie est de Bach lui-même. Il ne contient pas non plus, de manière inhabituelle pour Bach, de véritable fugue. L’œuvre est souvent décrite comme ayant un caractère confiant, intime et tendre, et faisant plus appel à la polychoralité (jeu entre les deux chœurs) qu'à la polyphonie (jeu entre les voix). Le thème du texte est la mort comme le moment heureux où l'homme, las de la vie terrestre, peut se confier à Jésus, qui est la Vérité et la Vie, et le seul moyen d'accéder à la vie surnaturelle. (fr)
