Note: I am including an mp3 audio file so you can hear
it as played on a synthecizer that fairly closely mimics
the sound of the real instruments. For playback merely
click on the filename. If installed, Microsoft Media Player
will begin to play after a transmission delay.
The selection is about 4 minutes 40 seconds long.

The balance of the Cantata is to be finished. This is the
first 2 installments, but it represents roughly 3/4 of the
entirety by page count.

This is typical "Triumphant Bach" with Trumpets and Timpani
and Organ and all the other wonderful effects we are used to
in Bach's music. I will take credit for translating the music
from the archaic form you find in the BachGesellschaft release
and for writing out the figured bass for organ.

I have heard recordings of this selection made by other ensembles
and I think they all seem to play it too fast. I prefer this tempo
Also, my apologies for the synthecizer. It cannot sing the words
of the choral parts. So it substitutes "aaah" for them
Also, in Verse 2, a flute sound is substituted for the voice
