Elected Pleißenstadt ( BWV 216a) is a secular cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach , which he composed in Leipzig in 1728 as a homage to Leipzig.
The cantata was premiered in 1728 or later . The text by Christian Friedrich Henrici (also known as Picander ) has been preserved; the music is lost, but there is scope for partial reconstruction.
The work is known for having a parody of the Bach cantata Freudete Pleißenstadt , BWV 216, a wedding cantata from 1728 with a text by Christian Friedrich Henrici. This wedding cantata survived in fragments.
The harpsichordist Alexander Ferdinand Grychtolik reconstructed the cantata from the draft of the libretto and fragments of the notation, which were posthumously rediscovered in 2003 in the notes of a Japanese pianist . A recording was published in 2017 on the Deutsche Harmonia Mundi .
