In the early 1700s, Bach’s chorales enchanted
listeners with their inventive harmonies, chromaticism,
contrapuntal motion, and changes of tonal center. Since
that time, music students the world over have studied
the chorales as a paragon of “common practice”
harmony and voice leading. And, by virtue of their
sublime beauty, musicians continue to perform the
chorales to this day.
BWV 1126 is considered to likely be from a lost
cantata. It was found untexted with the title: Lobet

number was assigned.
Although originally written for Chorus (SATB), I
created original lyrics and set this arrangement for
solo Concert (Pedal) Harp.
