Text

BWV 28/2a is an arrangement of the second movement of Bach's cantata Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende, BWV 28, with a different text, however taken from the same Lutheran hymn, that is Johann Gramann's "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren" (1530).[1]

Music

The motet has SATB voice parts.[1] In some printings of this motet, a basso continuo is added to support the bass part, doubling it exactly.
