Johann Sebastian Bach wrote his festive cantata BWV 41, "Jesu, nun sei gepreiset" (Jesus, be now exalted) as a tribute to the old and the new year. The piece is a musical look back at Bach's chorale year of 1724/25 in Leipzig, but it also awakens hopeful sentiments for the future. In this episode of Bach Factory, Rudolf Lutz and Xoán Castiñeira explore the cantata's musical details and uncover its secrets.
