J.S.Bach’s Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott (Praised be the Lord, my God) was first performed on Trinity Sunday in 1727 in Leipzig. The words are based entirely on a hymn of 1666 by Johann Olearius. The church cantata consists of five movements of which this arrangement is the famous opening chorus. This arrangement provides a bright opening number for a concert.
