Work:
Nun danket alle Gott (Now thank ye all our God), BWV 192, is a church cantata for Trinity Sunday composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Leipzig in 1730. It is an incomplete cantata, because its tenor part is missing. It is a chorale cantata, setting the unmodified three stanzas of Martin Rinckart's "Nun danket alle Gott" ("Now Thank We All Our God"). It has been regarded as an expansion of Bach's chorale cantata cycle.

History and text:
Bach composed Nun danket alle Gott as a chorale cantata for Trinity, setting the unmodified text of the three stanzas of Martin Rinckart's hymn of thanksgiving "Nun danket alle Gott". It was first performed on 4 June 1730. Alfred Dürr assumed that it could have been written for a wedding.[4] It has also been regarded as a cantata for Reformation Day. The cantata is not always seen as included in Bach's chorale cantata cycle. The original score is held by the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. The tenor part was lost and has been reconstructed by several scholars; e.g., Günter Raphael and Alfred Dürr.
