Actus tragicus-Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (Mighty God His time is ever best) BWV 106 'Actus tragicus'Cantata for a funeral service.Since there are no original sources or documents concerning the first performance of the funeral cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit BWV 106 it is impossible to establish the year of origin of this work called Actus tragicus by Bach. The striking resemblance to the cantatas BWV 131 Aus der Tiefen rufe ich Herr zu Dir (presumably 1707) and BWV 71 Gott ist mein König (1708) both of which were composed in Mühlhausen suggests that the funeral cantata was also written in Mühlhausen in1707.Urtext of the New Bach EditionPerformance material (BA10106) vocal score (BA10106-90) & study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP1106) available for sale.
