The majority of J. S. Bach's cantatas (approximately 200) were
written on sacred texts. Cantata "Jesu, der du meine Seele" was
based on a sacred song by Johan Rist written in 1641 and then rearranged by an
unknown author. Cantata "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" was
written to be performed on the 27th Sunday after Easter.
The recording of J. S. Bach's Cantatas BWV 78 and 140
was made at the "December Nights" festival of 1987, which was
dedicated to the music of J. S. Bach, in the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
The USSR People's Artist, pianist Svyatoslav Richter, was the founder and
organizer of this festival.
