Description

Bach wrote the cantata “Du wahrer Gott and Davids Sohn” as a test piece in connection with his application for the position of Cantor of St. Thomas. for reasons unknown, Bach considered it necessary to use a cornett and three trombones to support the chorus – possibly this suggests the poor state of the St. Thomas choir after Kuhnau’s death.
