Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht, BWV 134a
Johann Sebastian Bach composed the secular cantata Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht in Köthen, Germany, between 1717 and 1723. Bach wrote the work as a serenata for the celebration of New Year’s Day 1719. The music is close to baroque opera, including French dances. The cantata has been performed and recorded rarely, compared with other Bach cantatas.
