Beautiful Bach: Ich habe genung BWV 82 in 4K

Bach's sublime Bass Cantata for the feast of Candlemas, Ich habe genung (I have enough/contentment).

Note the purposeful decision to use the archaic 'genung' over genug as Bach would have known.

The cantata describes the journey of the old man Simeon, seeing the baby Jesus being presented in the Temple, and proclaiming that, having seen the saviour, he is now content to go to his death.
