The
CANTATA No. 4: CHRIST LAG
IN TODES BANDEN, BWV 4,
is one of the earliest
church cantatas by J.S.
Bach (1685-1750). Bach
wrote it for an
application to a job
opportunity at a Lutheran
church in Mulhausen. It
is the first of his
cantatas to construct its
textual and melodic
material on a chorale.
His first cantata for
Easter Sunday, it was
later revised in Leipzig
in 1724 and 1725 with
additional instrumental
parts in order to harness
the rich musical
resources available to
the composer. The
original version has not
survived. The piano
reduction for this vocal
score was completed by
Gustav Schreck, and the
edition was edited by
John Ebenezer West.
