Шаблон:Lang (Ye houses of heaven, ye radiant lights), BWV 193.1 (formerly BWV 193a), is a secular cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach first performed on 3 August 1727. The music is lost, but it can be partially reconstructed as several movements (including the opening chorus) are known to have shared music with Шаблон:Lang, a church cantata which was premiered around three weeks after Шаблон:Lang.

History and text

This cantata was composed for the name day of Frederick August I, Elector of Saxony. The text is by Picander who published it in the second part of his collection Picanders Ernst-Schertzhaffte und Satyrische Gedichte (Leipzig 1729). However, there has been speculation that Picander based his text on the work of Christian Friedrich Hunold, an earlier librettist of Bach. The reason for this suggestion is a similarity to a series of congratulatory cantatas Bach composed at Köthen.

The opening chorus is about a council of the gods. It was the custom for congratulatory works such as this to feature allegorical characters; in this case they are: Providentia (Providence), Fama (Fame), Salus (Well-being) and Pietas (Piety). The title page bears the dedication: Шаблон:Quotation

In English it may be rendered as: Шаблон:Quotation

The cantata is counted among the works for celebrations of the Leipzig University, Festmusiken zu Leipziger Universitätsfeiern.

Structure

The work has eleven movements:

1. Chorus: Шаблон:Lang
2. Recitative (Providentia): Шаблон:Lang
3. Aria (Providentia): Шаблон:Lang
4. Recitative (Fama): Шаблон:Lang
5. Aria (Fama, Providentia): Шаблон:Lang
6. Recitative (Providentia, Fama, Salus): Шаблон:Lang
7. Aria (Salus): Шаблон:Lang
8. Recitative (Pietas): Шаблон:Lang
9. Aria (Pietas): Шаблон:Lang
10. Recitative (Pietas): Шаблон:Lang
11. Aria (Pietas, chorus): Шаблон:Lang

There has been speculation that the fifth movement, a duet (not found in Cantata BWV 193) between Providentia and Fama, may have influenced the duet "Domine Deus", the central movement of the Gloria in Bach's Mass in B Minor.
