Date of composition around 1734–1735, likely as a wedding cantata for an entire nuptial mass (compare with BWV 117, 192, and 250–252). Subsequent performance around 1737, as evidenced by scribes J. G. Heinrich, J. W. Machts, G. T. Krauß, and J. L. Dietel. Another performance around 1742, indicated by scribe G. H. Noah and autograph figured bass for a transposed organ part. Further performances by C. P. E. Bach in Hamburg, with entries for copyists on the cover of the autograph score. Movements 1 and 6 originate from BWV 99/1 and BWV 75/7 and 14, respectively, and are expanded in the orchestral arrangement
