Events
Johann Sebastian Bach
- Johann Sebastian Bach works in Weimar as court organist and chamber musician at the court of Duke Wilhelm Ernst .
- March 2nd : Bach is appointed concertmaster . Although he is still below the Kapell- and Vice-Kapellmeister in the hierarchy, at 250 guilders he gets a considerably higher salary than both. With the new office there is the obligation to compose a church cantata every four weeks for the respective Sunday.
- March 8th : Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach , the Berliner or Hamburger Bach, is born as the fifth child of Maria Barbara Bach and Johann Sebastian Bach.
- March 19 : After three months of reflection, Bach cancels the offered position as organist at the Marktkirche Our Dear Women in Halle on the grounds that the salary did not meet his expectations.
- March 25th : On Palm Sunday, Bach's first commissioned composition Himmelskönig, Be Willkommen ( BWV 182) will be performed in the Weimar Castle Church . The lyricist is probably Salomon Franck . It was followed at regular intervals by at least 20 other works, which form the basis of the later Leipzig cantatas.
- April 22nd : The cantata Weinen, Klagen, Sorge, Zagen (BWV 12) is premiered in the castle church. The text probably comes from Salomon Franck again. The final chorale is the last stanza of the hymn What God does is well done by Samuel Rodigast .
- May 20 : At Pentecost the cantata " Schallet" sounds , you songs, sound, you strings! (BWV 172) for the first time.
- June 17th : The cantata I had much grief (BWV 21) is premiered.
- July 1 / July 15 : The cantata Resist but the Sin (BWV 54) has its world premiere. The cantata text comes from Georg Christian Lehms from 1711.
- August 12th : Bach also used a model by Georg Christian Lehms for the cantata My Heart Swim in Blood (BWV 199).
- December 2 : On the first Sunday of Advent , Johann Sebastian Bach performs his cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland (BWV 61) in the castle church in Weimar for the first time. The lyricist Erdmann Neumeister takes over the first stanza of Martin Luther's Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland , the main song of the 1st Advent, for the opening chorus and uses the swan song of the last stanza of Philipp Nicolai's How beautifully the morning star shines as the final chorale . The third sentence contains the request for a “blessed new year”, since the new church year begins on the first Sunday in Advent .
- December 30th : Step on the Glaubensbahn (BWV 152) is Bach's last church cantata to be performed in this calendar year. Again the text comes from Salomon Franck.
- During his tenure in Weimar from 1712 to 1717 Johann Sebastian Bach composed a collection of chorale- related organ pieces ( chorale preludes ), known as the Orgelbüchlein (BWV 599–644).
