About Alleluia (BWV 142 - Uns ist ein Kind geboren)
Johann Kuhnau was a prolific composer and organist at Leipzig’s St. Thomas’ Church before J.S. Bach. This jubilant SATB setting of Alleluia comes from a cantata, a genre he explored widely for Lutheran services. The German text rejoices in God's goodness, urging singers to praise Him with all their hearts for a joy that should never be forgotten. The music reflects this gladness with bright harmonies and a clear, exultant spirit, making it an effective concert or liturgical offering.
