Rummaging in the archives
Apropos of your note on my talk page, I can't contribute much by way of sources. It may (or may not) be of passing interest that the work was adapted in English in 1933 as "Awake Us, Lord, and Hasten", with the text translated by C Sanford Chambers. Published by Novello. (ref "Awake Us, Lord, and Hasten", The Musical Times, Vol. 74, No. 1083 (May, 1933), pp. 433–438. http://www.jstor.org/stable/917994 (subscription)

There is evidently a traditional belief (without any evidence to substantiate it) that JSB himself sang the bass solos in the first performance. Might be worth mentioning, if only to clarify that there is no evidence that the tradition is correct. (ref: "Johann Sebastian Bach: The Culmination of an Era by Karl Geiringer", Review by: J A Westrup, Music & Letters, Vol. 48, No. 4 (Oct., 1967), pp. 380–381 http://www.jstor.org/stable/733239 (subscription)

I am sending you by email a pdf of an interesting article about JSB and Graupner, his rival for the Thomaskantorat.  Tim riley  talk    11:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I've fine-tuned the prose. Please revert any of my changes that don't please you. Two minor drafting points:
 * Estomihi is a new one on me. In the Church of England we call it Quinquagesima (as does the Wikipedia article), but I suppose if German Lutherans call it Estomihi, that's fair enough for this article.
 * Does Mincham really spell "focused" with an extra unwanted "s"? Later: please ignore: noticing that it was an online source I have checked for myself, and alas he does use the redundant "s". It is accepted by some dictionaries, and so doesn't need a [sic].  Tim riley  talk    13:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * That's all from me. A lovely article. If the email and attachment don't arrive, please let me know: I have a Plan B for use when large attachments don't make it into inboxes.  Tim riley  talk    13:22, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Harv errors

 * McCue, Edward (ed.). "The Liturgical Calendar at Leipzig" doesn't appear to be cited in the article
 * refs 13, 15, 16, & 23: I'm not sure if these should be pointing to Wolff 2002 or Wolff 1991.
 * Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 00:58, 11 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you, 2002, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:57, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Delighted to see this on main page
Well done Gerda! Ceoil (talk) 18:04, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed! It was good to see this article on the main page. Nicely done, Gerda.-RHM22 (talk) 20:18, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Arrangements
Two setting of the closing chorale are now mentioned. I believe they rather belong in the hymn's article, Herr Christ, der einig Gotts Sohn (where Bach's setting is already mentioned, with a source), not in this cantata. What do others think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:52, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
 * You may well be right, Gerda. In mitigation, I would say that Harriet Cohen's arrangement was published as being from cantata 22 and without mentioning the hymn directly. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 16:59, 2 June 2015 (UTC)


 * How about leaving that here, while the other and the chorale have only the melody in common, not the setting? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:23, 2 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Makes sense to me. -Thoughtfortheday (talk) 17:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
