academic

Re this: anybody could author something. I thought it was interesting that an academic wrote the text for something seemingly so ephemeral, + t's rare that we know at all who wrote librettos for Bach, - not even for his Christmas Oratorio. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

+ every libretto is by an author --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:49, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Dürr

I think that saying that it has not been recorded much is redundant for a piece written for one day, but Alfred Dürr, perhaps THE Bach scholar is not. We could also save room for him by avoiding the repetition of Divine Providence. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:53, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Easter

I think the fact that Bach reused the work for Easter without a change but text (and omitting two movements) should be "in". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:50, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

No objection. - Dank (push to talk) 17:40, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
