Cantata CXLVI.

Wir mussen durch viel Trubsal in das Reich Gottes eingehen. Third Sunday after Easter (“Jubilate”) (c. 1740)1

The melody of the concluding Choral (B.G. xxx. 190) is Johann Schop’s “Werde munter, mein Gemüthe” (see Cantata 55). The words of the Choral are lacking in the ms. and in the B.G. Score.

Form. Simple2 .

[1 ] In the Cantata Bach uses the Allegro of the Concerto for two Violins or Clavier (D minor) as a symphony, and the Chorus that follows is its Adagio section. Bach uses the same Concerto in Cantata No. 188. See also Nos. 49, 110, 169, 174. Bach’s authorship of Cantata 146 has been challenged (Bachjahrbuch, 1912).

[2 ] Only the vocal parts are printed in the Score.
