Chorale cantata (Bach)

(

)

... that Bach's chorale cantata Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein, BWV 2, based on Martin Luther's chorale, is the second cantata in his second annual cycle?

Reviewed: Triangulum Australe
Comment: I expanded the cantata for Trinity II, 17 June, but not 5*, to appear between 16 June and 22 June.

ALT1: ... that Bach's chorale cantata Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein, BWV 2, based on Luther's hymn, is part of "the largest musical project that the composer ever undertook"?

P.S. I reworked the lead section a little to try to clarify whether "Chorale cantata (Bach)" = those of 1724/5 or a wider range; refs like this don't really help much; feel free to rework again if you don't like; I've also introduced a slight discrepancy - in the lead I put "mainly" and lower down you have "exculsively": is the 1724/5 cycle wholly and exclusively of chorale cantatas or just predominantly? The Grove didn't help much there: "the second cycle, dating from 1724-5, consists mainly of a series of fresh composed chorale cantatas" - are the remainder not chorale or not fresh?
