Ascension Day belongs to the most prominent feasts related to the life of Christ and therefore required special musical consideration in Bach’s time. “Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen” BWV 11, entitled by Bach “Oratorium Festo Ascensionis Christi”, was first performed on May 19, 1735, whilst “Gott fähret auf mit Jauchzen” BWV 43 first appeared on the 30th of May 1726. The text of this cantata was taken from a cycle of sacred poetry by Ernst Ludwig, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen. The cantata “Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein” BWV 128 was first performed on 10 May 1725. “Wer da gläubet und getauft wird” BWV 37 was premiered on 18 May 1724.
