A short keyboard piece from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, historically misattributed to J.S. Bach. Represents the Polish dance style popular in 18th-century Germany.
Ascension-themed church cantata featuring a chorale fantasia, symbolic trumpet solos, and a unique organo/oboe d'amore obbligato. Composed during Bach's Leipzig period, it blends liturgical rigor with expressive poetry by Ziegler.
This aria and recitative from Bach's Ascension cantata combines exuberant orchestral motifs with theological depth. Bach employs concerto elements with embedded chorale melodies, using trumpet symbolism for divine authority and intimate duets to express personal devotion.
Bach strategically reserved the trumpet—a Baroque symbol of royalty—for Movement 3 to represent Christ's divine authority, contrasting with the intimate oboe d'amore duet in Movement 4.
