Apropos of your note on my talk page, I can't contribute much by way of sources. It may (or may not) be of passing interest that the work was adapted in English in 1933 as "Awake Us, Lord, and Hasten", with the text translated by C Sanford Chambers. Published by Novello. (ref "Awake Us, Lord, and Hasten", The Musical Times, Vol. 74, No. 1083 (May, 1933), pp. 433–438. http://www.jstor.org/stable/917994 (subscription)
There is evidently a traditional belief (without any evidence to substantiate it) that JSB himself sang the bass solos in the first performance. Might be worth mentioning, if only to clarify that there is no evidence that the tradition is correct. (ref: "Johann Sebastian Bach: The Culmination of an Era by Karl Geiringer", Review by: J A Westrup, Music & Letters, Vol. 48, No. 4 (Oct., 1967), pp. 380–381 http://www.jstor.org/stable/733239 (subscription)
I am sending you by email a pdf of an interesting article about JSB and Graupner, his rival for the Thomaskantorat. Tim riley talk 11:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Well done Gerda! Ceoil ( talk) 18:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Two setting of the closing chorale are now mentioned. I believe they rather belong in the hymn's article, Herr Christ, der einig Gotts Sohn (where Bach's setting is already mentioned, with a source), not in this cantata. What do others think? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:52, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
