With this Carus publication Bach’s cantata BWV 69a of 1723, "Praise the Lord, praise him and bless him", which has remained largely unknown to the present day, is now available for the first time in a practical edition. The work was unjustly overshadowed by the cantata BWV 69 of the same name, a piece which Bach reworked to celebrate the inauguration of Leipzig Town Council in 1748. On that occasion Bach re-used the parts from 1723 for the sake of simplicity, and adapted them for the new use by means of cuts, alterations, and additions – although this certainly did not mean that he rejected the 1723 version. This version can readily be recovered from the 1723 parts, if we explore beyond the alterations of 1748. With its rich wind section and great opening chorus, the 1723 cantata is in no way inferior to the later festive music in terms of musical splendor. The text takes the Gospel reading about the healing of the deaf-mute as an opportunity to praise and give thanks for God’s good deeds. In contrast to the later version, in which God is thanked for the wisdom of the Leipzig authorities, the original version of 1723 is free of such contemporary references, and it is suitable for use in both worship and concerts. / This is the original version of the cantata, composed for the twelfth Sunday after Trinity (BWV3 69.1). The later version, the cantata to celebrate the inauguration of the local council in 1748 (BWV3 69.2), is published under the number Carus 31.069/00.
