Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt (motet)
Motet with music by Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach
Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt is a three-movement pasticcio motet for double SATB choir. It includes music by Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach. The text of the motet is a German paraphrase of Psalm 100.[1]
There is some doubt as to who compiled the work: it may have been Bach or Johann Gottlob Harrer, who after Bach's death in 1750 succeeded him as Thomaskantor.[2] Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt appears as BWV Anh. 160, that is in Anhang III, the annex of spurious works, of the 1998 edition of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV). Later it was renumbered to BWV App. A 4.[3]: 119 In the catalogue of works by Telemann (TWV) the motet has the number 8:10.[2]
