Extra Information | A Secular (congratulatory cantata) written in Cöthen, music later used in Leipzig (1724) with a sacred text. The Alto is "Anhalt's Felicity" and the Tenor "Fame." Scores and parts of this version lost. The secular model for Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen, BWV 66; for more details, see "Version History" on the page for that cantata. |
