1-120

Gott, man lobet dich in der Stille (God, You are praised in the stillness), BWV 120.1 (previously BWV 120), is a sacred cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in Leipzig for the occasion of Ratswechsel, the inauguration of a new town council in a church service, probably before 1730. Parts of the cantata appeared in a wedding cantata (BWV 120.2) and a cantata commemorating the Augsburg Confession in 1730 (BWV 120.3). Bach reworked the choral second movement for the Symbolum Nicenum of his Mass in B minor.
