J. S. Bach: Nun ist das Heil und die Kraft, BWV 50 The Church Cantatas, Vol. 98

Cantata 50 Nun ist das Heil und die Kraft is surrounded by puzzles. It comprises only a single movement for eightpart choir and an extensive orchestra. It is assumed to have been just one part of a larger work, though there is no supportive evidence for this. It is equally unclear whether the choir was originally in eight parts, since the only surviving copy dates from some time after Bachs death. The cantata amounts to a song of triumph upon the archangel Michaels victory over the dragon, and it was indeed written for Michaelmas, 29 September.
