O angenehme Melodei, BWV 210aとは 意味・読み方・使い方

O angenehme Melodei (O pleasing melody), BWV 210a, is a secular cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He wrote the solo cantata for soprano in Leipzig as a "Huldigungskantate" (homage cantata) for Christian, Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels, first performed on 12 January 1729, and dedicated it at least twice to different people and occasions. The cantata is part of his repertory of congratulatory and homage cantatas. Bach used it as the base for his wedding cantata O holder Tag, erwünschte Zeit, BWV 210. Most of the music of O angenehme Melodei was lost, but can be reconstructed from the later work, which survived completely.
