Product Description

"Bist du bei mir" (BWV 508) is a well-known aria, often attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, but it was composed by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel. It is part of the second Little Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, which Bach gave to his wife as a gift. The aria is a simple song of gratitude, trust, and faith, and it has become popular, being regularly requested at weddings. Despite not being composed by Bach, it holds significance in the context of the music associated with the Bach family.

"Bist du bei mir" is often requested at modern weddings due to its uplifting melody and themes of gratitude, trust, and faith. It has become an iconic love song and a popular choice for wedding ceremonies. Its inclusion in the second Little Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach provides insight into the musical tastes of the Bach family, adding to its significance in modern weddings.
