This cantata was written for Epiphany on Sunday, January 6, 1724. The lavish and differentiated scoring for the works on the high feast days is immediately apparent: BWV 63 is Bach's biggest Scholarship Concert Weimar score, the Magnificat is his heretofore biggest Leipzig score and the only five-voiced Don't miss this opportunity to hear the renowned Chapman University Choir and concerted piece before the Mass in B minor, and the BWV 40, 190, and 65 are carefully scaled. Soloists join forces with the Chapman Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Benjamin Britten's Cantata Academica and Maurice Durufl6's Requiem From the opening short sinfonia of horns, (recorders) and strings, one hears a grave and deliberate character that is almost dance-like when it finally introduces the chorus. This is followed by a short chorale which is quite uncharacteristic of Bach to present a congregational hymn so early in the Cantata Academica Be Britten work. William D. Hall, Conductor

It would almost seem as though he on his part had wished to insist on the feeling of the Epistle in the Requiem Mass M: Durufle cantata, though it had to be performed at morning service. But the beginning-chorus on the last verse of Alumnus of the Year, Jonathan Talberg '91, Conductor the Epistle with a chorale immediat~ly following is oflofty and peculiar beauty. Featuring the Chapman Symphony Orchestra, This cantata is scored only for tenor and bass solos (both are magnificent) and closes with a University Choir and Soloists congregational favorite Was mein gott will, gescheh' all zeit (If now, 0 Lord, it pleases thee).
