Cantata no. 129: Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott, BWV.129
Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott (Praised be the Lord, my God), BWV 129, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is a chorale cantata.
The cantata is festively scored and ends in a chorale fantasia, like the Christmas Oratorio.
It was performed on Trinity Sunday 8 June 1727 in Leipzig. Rediscovery of the printed libretto of the cantata in the first decade of the 21st century led to a re-appraisal of prior assumptions regarding the early performance chronology of a few cantatas, including this one.
