2. Cor Anglais-Lobet den Herrn alle Heiden BWV 230 - Motet for four-part mixed choir.In Bach’s voluminous output of music the motets form a small group of modest proportions particularly as compared to the 200 or so surviving cantatas. In historical perspective however the corpus of motets is especially distinguished being the only part of Bach’s vocal œuvre whose post-1750 tradition has remained unbroken to the present day.- Urtext of the New Bach Edition

Motet for five-part mixed choir-All of Bach?s six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas? Church Leipzig where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period Bach composed most of his cantatas and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets from the seventeenth century tradition reserving his own motet compositions for special occasions.Four of his six motets were written for the funeral services of prominent members of the St Thomas? congregation. Jesu Meine Freude (BWV 227) the longest most musically complex and earliest of the six was written in 1723 for the funeralof Johanna Maria Käsin the wife of Leipzig?s postmaster.Jesu Meine Freude BWV 227 is a beautifully constructed motet for five-part mixed choir by J.S. Bach.
