About

As we release the penultimate volume in this acclaimed cycle, it is a sobering thought that as many as a hundred of Bach's church cantatas might have been lost if it were not for the efforts of artists such as the Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki.

The fragment Ehre sei Gott in der Hφhe was apparently intended for Christmas Day of 1728. Bach reused parts of the work in the large-scale wedding cantata Gott ist unsre Zuversicht. This has made it possible to reconstruct the missing parts and allows for interesting comparisons between the two versions.

The other two works were both composed around 1735, and give rich evidence of Bach's versatility in terms of style.
