The cantata "Heart and mouth and thought and action", BWV 147, for the Feast of the Visitation (2 July) in 1723, belongs to a group of three Weimar Advent cantatas, namely BWV 70, 147, and 186, which Bach reinterpreted textually by adding recitatives not included in the original works while simultaneously expanding them into two parts (performed before and after the sermon). Both parts have a concluding chorale, of which the one from BWV 147 has become a hit in its own right: "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" (Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring). The cantata has a complicated history, for it seems that Bach ran out of time on two occasions. The Weimar fair copy score contains only the first movement (which was integrated into the Leipzig score), while the Leipzig fair copy of 1723 also breaks off abruptly, and was only completed later (the parts were based on composing drafts, which have not survived). Thus the version of 1723, which serves as the basis for our edition for the first time, differs in a number of details from the later fair copy. However, Bach did not transfer the fair copy version into individual parts and probably never heard it performed. / This is the Weimar Advent Cantata (BWV2 147a, BWV3 deest) without the famous chorale "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" (Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring). The later, better known Leipzig cantata for the Feast of the Visitation of Mary (BWV 147) is available under the number Carus 31.147/50.
