Duet from Cantata No. 15, Ich Jauchze
About this Piece
The duet by Johann Ludwig Bach (1677–1731) is from a cantata composed for a Lutheran service in Meiningen. Because Johann Sebastian Bach, his third cousin, performed it in a Leipzig service in the 1720s, there was a copy in the manuscripts J.S. Bach bequeathed to his sons, and until about 1959, it was thought that he wrote it.
