The town council liked this so much they commissioned Bach to write another one a year later despite him having left for Weimar already. Unfortunately for us, the only evidence for this is the bill for printing the cantata. BWV 71 is still the only cantata we still have that was ever printed during Bach's lifetime. If Mühlhausen, a free imperial city, was like Leipzig, the town councillors were appointed for life. Leipzig had 30 of them, who served in groups of 10 -- one year serving, two years off. The senior councillor in each group served as mayor. So there needed to be a new council inauguration each year for the incoming group. Free elections? -- we don't need no stinking elections! Bach wrote cantatas for the Leipzig town council inaugurations too. BWV 119, "Preise Jerusalem", is a nice one musically, although for modern tastes the words are a little over the top. The alto aria in that one for instance states that the council derives its power directly from the hands of God, and those who oppose the council are opposing The Almighty!

Note on the text This cantata was written for the annual change of administration in Mühlhausen. It was performed on 4th February 1708 in the Marienkirche and the score was printed at the expense of the council. The author of the text is unknown, but both Archdeacon Georg Christian Eilmar, the pastor of the Marienkirche, and Bach himself have been suggested as possibilities. The text is a combination of Biblical quotations, a hymn - stanza and original matter. Most of the text is based on Psalm 74 (movements 1, 4 and 6). Other texts are used in movements 2 and 3 to pay homage to aged burgomasters. In movement 2 stanza 6 of the chorale O Gott, du frommer Gott is used (Johann Heermann 1630). Movements 5 and 7 use specially written verses. These contain references to the Emperor Joseph I and the war of the Spanish Succession then raging.

all of the artists that have the courage to perform this are great.. no right tempo no right anything... Suzuki, Koopman and the thousands of other artists.. each with their own marvelous nuances!! Viva la Musica!
It is hard to explain the incredible subtleties in the scoring together with the intense feeling in this cantata. The vocal quartet singers in this recording in the last section is of such high quality.These early cantatas derived from Buxtehude and Schutz are Bach's most intimate.
None of the composers could ever achieve what Bach could accomplish. In terms of subtlety of sounds. The intricate interweaving of different voices and instruments of different colors. Also the irregular phrasing and the complex contrapuntal treatments he used are remarkable.
We could only say that definitely if we could accurately define what he achieved - and then we could prove you otherwise the moment it's accurate enough of a definition
Agreed. The early works are much more adventurous and diverse in structure. When Bach settled on the model choir-recitatives-arias-chorale he repeated this over and over again. Made worse by that phenomenon da capo aria that was suitable for Italian opera but not for anything else.
They are all wonderful. The b minor mass is sort of a style reference for many of the cantatas. But the early Buxtehude type cantatas are very special. There is a lot of variety tempos ensemble combinations. Thanks to Bach that this German style vocal music was perfected in music history. He is the follower of Schutz Buxtehude Teleman and other early German composers. No videos in this recording but it is the most engaging of them all.

I know it's been eight years, but you're looking at an engraving of the town of Mühlhausen. It was made by Joseph Friedrich Leopold in 1720.
