Description: Reprint of a vocal score originally issued by Breitkopf und Härtel in the early 20th century. An English translation of the original German text has been inserted beneath the German throughout. Breitkopf inserted English translations in a number of these vocal scores in the 1920s. Many were public domain translations taken from Novello and other sources such as the American lawyer Henry Sandwith Drinker who deliberately placed his singing translations into the public domain. This particular score was reprinted by Edwin F. Kalmus starting in the 1940s or 1950s as Kalmus Vocal Score No.6533. 

In 1975 the vocal score part of the Kalmus catalog was sold to Belwin-Mills, whose catalog was subsequently absorbed by Columbia Pictures Publications (1980s), then Warner Brothers (1990s). Alfred only started printing and selling the item in 2004 after it acquired the Warner catalog. The 1985 publication date is likely from the date the title was acquired by Columbia Pictures Publications from Belwin-Mills, which is when the ISBN was assigned. It is not the actual date of publication but the date of the first reprint with an ISBN. For unknown reasons this item is borrow only on Open Library even though it is obviously public domain in the United States and probably worldwide.
Notes: The original vocal score was issued in 1891 by Breitkopf und Härtel in Leipzig. The plate number for this score was J.S.B. I.22. The text was in German only then and the page-count was 24 (rather than the 27 pages of the version with the added English text). The majority of the piano reductions for these scores (the entire series of Bach cantatas was issued between 1891 and 1895) were prepared by Bernhard Todt (1822-1907).
