The
cantata Hochsterwunschtes
Freudenfest BWV 194 was
composed for an organ
dedication on 2 November
1723 in Stormthal,
Saxony. A year later, and
with just a few
alterations, the cantata
was performed again in
Leipzig on Trinity
Sunday. Our edition takes
this Leipzig version of
1724 as its source. The
special occasion of its
composition is reflected
in the extent of the
composition which has
twelve, instead of the
usual six, movements. The
orchestral scoring is for
strings and three
obbligato oboes. A
special feature of the
cantata is its structure
as an orchestral suite.
The beginning is a
spirited opening chorus
in the style of a French
overture. The bass aria
in the third movement has
the character of a
pastorale, and the
following aria (movement
5) in turn has the
character of a gavotte,
etc. A simple four-part
chorale concludes this
multifaceted composition,
marked by some extremely
heartfelt moments. Score
and parts available
separately - see item
