Aria Angenehmer Zephyrus from Zerreißet, zersprenget, zertrümmert die Gruft BWV 205
Bach Cantata 205 was composed as a dramma per musica in 1725 for the name day of August Friedrich Müller, a well-respected professor at the University of Leipzig. In this alluring aria, Pallas, goddess of wisdom, asks Aeolus, god of the winds, to postpone the release of his autumn tempests and allow Zephyrus, the god of evening breezes, to blow his much more pleasant winds on her mountain tops.
Text by Picander
Pallas: Pleasant Zephyrus, your musky rich kiss and your listening coolness should play on my mountain heights.
Great King Aeolus, tell Zephyrus then that his musky rich kiss and his listening coolness should play on my mountain heights.
