The music of the first 14 bars of the first movement ( "Concerto" title) is missing, whatever underlying cantata text is unknown, the first and only word in the text for bass voice is "Man" [see: Cantata BWV 149 Man singet mit Freuden]; M. Helms (KB I/30, p. 112) suggested, therefore, that this abject opening movement might have been planned as a new composition for BWV 149, from unknown reasons. However, the final chorus of the Hunt Cantata BWV 208 has been extended for the opening movement of BWV 149. |
