Denn du wirst meine Seele nicht in der Hölle lassen
(For you shall not leave my soul in hell), JLB 21, BWV
15, is a church cantata spuriously attributed to Johann
Sebastian Bach but most likely composed by Johann
Ludwig Bach.
The piece was initially thought to be an early work of
Johann Sebastian Bach. However, Bach scholars
reattributed the piece to his cousin, Johann Ludwig
Bach. The piece was likely composed in Meiningen in
1704 for the first day of Eastertide, known as Easter

(For you shall not leave my soul in hell), JLB 21, BWV

The piece was initially thought to be an early work of
Johann Sebastian Bach. However, Bach scholars
reattributed the piece to his cousin, Johann Ludwig
Bach. The piece was likely composed in Meiningen in
1704 for the first day of Eastertide, known as Easter
Sunday. There is some evidence that it may have been
performed again under the aegis of Johann Sebastian
Bach on 21 April 1726 in Leipzig. The prescribed
readings for the day are 1 Corinthians 5: 6-8 and Mark
16: 1-8.
It has been proposed that the text may have been
authored by Christoph Helm (as suggested by W.
Blankenburg) or by Herzog Ernst Ludwig von
Sachsen-Meinigen (as suggested by K. Kuester).
The piece is scored for two corni da caccia, two oboes,
timpani, one oboe da caccia, violins, violas and viola
da gamba, and basso continuo, four vocal soloists
(soprano, altus, tenor, and bassus) and four-part
choir.
