BWV 192, "Nun danket alle Gott," is a concise chorale cantata based on Martin Rinkart's famous hymn of thanksgiving. Composed in Leipzig around 1730, its exact purpose remains a mystery, though it was likely for a wedding. The work is notable for its unusual structure: the opening chorale fantasia delays the chorale melody, and it concludes with a vibrant gigue-like movement. The original score is lost, and the tenor part was expertly reconstructed in the 20th century by scholar Gunther Raphael.
