No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach ’s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work or at least re-work an existing one for every Sunday and festival of the church year as well as for numerous secular occasions such ascouncil inaugurations school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately not all cantatas have survived. However over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then.

During his short lifetime Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prolific composer with many of his best known works being composed for organ.

Cantata for the First Sunday of Advent- Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland BWV 61 Cantata for the First Sunday of Advent Bach began two of his cantatas with Martin Luther`s Advent hymn ' Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland ' a German version of the early church hymn 'Veni redemptor gentium'. One of the most gripping solo parts (following the pattern recitative – aria – recitative – aria) is the bass recitative on the words of the Revelation with its highly expressive declamation of the vocal line and the naive graphicness of the pounding string accompaniment. Equally captivating is the following soprano aria which 'opens its heart' upon the Saviour's 'knocking' in amelody full of the cheerful tidings of Advent. The cantata ends brilliantly with a lovely figurative chorale movement enhanced by the interplay of a lively bustling Violin part which ultimately soars upward to breathtaking heights.
