Cantata 83 ‘Erfreute Zeit im neuen Bunde’ was composed for the Purification of the blessed Virgin Mary (Candlemas), 2 February 1724. The readings for this day of the church year tell of the cleansing of Mary after the birth of Jesus, and of the aged Simeon, to whom it had been prophesied that he would not die until he had seen Jesus, the light of the world. Life and death, darkness and light are therefore juxtaposed in the cantata text, as in the opening movement: ‘Erfreute Zeit im neuen freudig wird zur letzten Stunde’. These words are sung by the alto soloist, accompanied by the instrumental ensemble with solo violin. According to Alfred Dürr even the knell is imitated by the violin in the middle section at the words ‘letzte Stunde’. In No.2 the aged Simeon is heard in his familiar hymn of praise (Nunc Dimittis) to the newborn Jesus. The impending departure and decease of Simeon is vividly illustrated by runs of semiquavers in the bass line: ‘Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener in Friede fahren’.
