Dear BML members, Teri Noel Towe (AKA TNT), classical music expert, art historian, music historian, radio broadcaster, record producer, and photographer, author of "Choral Music On Records", left us earlier this month.

The Bach Cantatas Website (BCW, https://www.bach-cantatas.com/index.htm#google_vignette) Bach Mailing List (BML, https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/IndexTopics9.htm#google_vignette) has two rounds of discussion on Bach's Chorale Cantata 2nd Cycle, beginning May 18, 2014 (https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Cycle-2.htm: scroll down to "Chorale Cantata Cycle, William L.

We are pleased to add a new text and translation: “Gott ist unsre Zuversicht” BWV 197.2 http://BachCantataTexts.org/BWV197.2 Those familiar with this cantata might notice a different text in the finale chorale. The one printed in every edition and used in every performance probably dates from the nineteenth century, filling in the text missing from Bach's autograph. But the words are not known from any eighteenth-century source, and are theologically incompatible with the Lutheranism of Bach's day. We have suggested a much likelier alternative. BachCantataTexts.org is a freely available source for new historically-informed English translations of J. S. Bach's vocal works, prepared and annotated by Michael Marissen (Swarthmore College, emeritus) and Daniel R. Melamed (Indiana University, emeritus/Bloomington Bach Cantata Project).

Hello, I run a website (https://whichbachcantata.be) as a hobby project, following the Bach cantata calendar throughout the year, with according playlists on the major streaming platforms. You can subscribe and get a mail on a specific (liturgical) day with a post on the cantatas for the day. Now I've also created cantata calendars to which you can subscribe in your favourite calendar app on your computer or smartphone: https://whichbachcantata.be/get-a-bach-cantata-calendar-subscription I hope you enjoy it! Kind regards --Michiel

The de tempore first half of the church year on the life and ministry of Jesus Christ begins with the First Sunday in Advent which, in Bach's time in Leipzig, was a single-day feast preparing for the Christmas Season. Complementing this one-year lectionary in Bach's time is John S. Setterlund's Bach Through the Year: The Church Music of Johann Sebastian Bach and the Revised Common Lectionary.1 "Bach Through the Year has reassigned the cantatas, as well as the motets, passions, and oratorios, to the Sundays and festivals with whose current readings and themes they most closely correspond. Besides the three church-year cantata cycles of musical sermons, there are two other cycles of church pieces: a Bach Christological Cycle that addresses the biblical/theological import of works for the significant feast days of Jesus Christ during de tempore time, with complementary, systematic studies of his related chorale settings and Latin Church music, as well as special, non-cyclic sacred music of joy and sorrow composed throughout most of his life that could constitute a fifth cycle of “well-regulated church music (source, https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Christological-Cycle.htm). De Tempore Special Services The initial Christmas season involves various feast days of the 12 days of Christmas embracing six special occasions in Bach's Christmas Oratorio, BWV 248, from the three days of Christmas, the Annunciation to the shepherds, the Nativity, and the adorartion of the shepherds, to the New Year's Circumcision and Naming of Jesus, the Sunday after New Year's with the approach of the Three Kings and the feast of Epiphany on the fixed day of January 6. There follows the Sundays after the Epiphany and the pre-Lenten "gesimae" Sundays (see https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Ecclesiastical-Year-Epiphany.htm) to the Holy Week observances of palm Sunday, the Good Friday Passion, the Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday Resurrection. This de tempore Proper Time concludes with the three-day Pentecost Feast (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday), and the closing Trinity Sunday which commences Trinity Time, the omnes tempore Ordinary Time of the second half of the church year (see the Bach Mailing List discussions of Trinity Time: Aug 6, 2024: Trinity Time Lectionary (https://bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Hoffman-20240806.htm); Sep 3, 2024: Leipzig Church-Year Cantata Cycles: Bach's Grand Design (https://bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Hoffman-20240903.htm); Sep 8, 2024: Bach's Chorales: Bibliographical Articles (https://bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Hoffman-20240908.htm); Sep 30, 2024: Chorale Cantata Cycle: Middle Trinity Time (https://bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Hoffman-20240908.htm); Nov 5, 2024: Diverse Late Trinity Time Cantatas (https://bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Hoffman-20240930.htm); and the 3-Year Lectionary Dec 9+12+19, 2024: Special Occasions Music, Hymnal Lectionaries (https://bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Hoffman-20241209.htm). 3-Year Common Lectionary, Bach's Works The 3-year Revised Common Lectionary shows: 1st Sunday of Advent is the beginning of the de tempore which is found currently in Year C, emphasizing the Gospel of Luke, 1 December 2024, Luke 21:25-36 (Coming of Son of Man, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2021%3A25-36&version=RSV), preferred Cantata 70(a).1 (orig.

Bach's Leipzig musical legacy involves three cycles of church-year cantatas as musical sermons for some 60 each of Sunday and feast day services, as well as the transformation of parodied works (https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Parodies-6.htm, https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Parodies-7.htm), special mini-series (https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Articles/Johannine-Trilogy-Begins.htm#google_vignette), cycles of extended Christological works such as oratorios and Latin Church music (https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Christological-Cycle.htm, https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Vocal/BWV233-242-Gen2.htm#google_vignette, https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Latin-Church-Music.htm), and special church music of joy and sorrow for weddings, funerals and special events (https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Joy-Sorrow-Cycle.htm, https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Joy-Sorrow-Occasional-Cycle.htm#google_vignette), and praise/thanksgiving special services (https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Topics/Praise.htm). The World of the Bach Chorale Settings is an amazing, unique experience and is discussed at https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Articles/World-Chorale-Settings.htm. It involves the instrumental organ works (https://www.bach-cantatas.com/NVD/CompleteOrgan.pdf) of free sonatas, preludes, fugues, and concertos, BWV 525-98, and organ chorale preludes of the Orgelbüchlein, Schubler, Great 18, Clavierübung III, Kirnberger/Miscellaneous, and "Neumeister" collections, BWV 599-771, 1090-1120. Lutheran Hymnals: Half-Millennium Further, this year marks the half millennium of Lutheran Hymnals, 1524-2024, observes Robin A. Leaver1 in A New Song We Now Begin. This is the title of Martin Luther's martyrs ballad, the first hymn of the Reformation and part of the first Lutheran hymnal printed in 1524 in Johann Walther''s Wittenberg hymnal, Achtliederbuch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Lutheran_hymnal). The Leipzig cantor and music director took advantage of every opportunity to fashion further original and recycled church music for a great variety of special works. The key to this treasure trove is the liturgical and musical Evangelical Lutheran Worship of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) with its church-year Sunday services and principal festivals, as well as the lesser festivals, commemorations, and occasions, published in 2006, and its special annex publication, Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) Daily Readings,2 found in three church years: A (Matthew's gospel, fixed Lukan Marian Feasts and selective services from John's non-synoptic gospel; https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/calendar/2025-26/?season=all), Year B (Mark's gospel plus the Lucan feasts, Johannine services, and special Matthew services such as New Year's Day, Epiphany Feast, Ash Wednesday, Easter Evening [Saturday Vigil of Easter], 3rd Sunday of Easter, Ascension Feast, Marian Visitation Feast [May 31], and Thanksgiving Day [November 28]; https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/calendar/2023-24/?season=all); and C (Luke's gospel plus the Johannine and Matthew services (https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/calendar/2024-25/?season=all). 3-Year Lectionary Using the RCL special annex, John S.
