Bach in Mühlhausen cathedral

Excerpt from the Cantata “Gott ist mein König” (BWV 71) performed in St. Mary’s Church in Mühlhausen.

It is a 14th century Gothic cathedral whose reverberation illuminates the cantata from the beginning of the first movement.
Bach worked in Mühlhausen in 1707-1708 and it is possible that the cantata BWV 71 was performed for the first time in this church.
