um 1728-1729
First performance on December 25, 1728 or 1729. The music is preserved from movement 4 (the last 18 and a half measures) and completely for movements 5–7. The text of the lost introductory chorus suggests a richly instrumented, extended introductory chorus (with trumpet and timpani). The concluding choral (text as indicated by Picander 1728) corresponds to BWV 398 - Early performances
