Cantata 51
It is believed that around 1711 a young J.S. Bach composed a cantata known as Actus Tragicus, a true funeral service conceived and written in memory of one of his teachers who died in Weimar. In contrast to this, Cantata 51 is a sublime explosion of celestial joy where the word "Hallelujah" comes to seal human song as a promise of eternal life.
