Bach House (Köthen) The composer Johann Sebastian Bach lived at two addresses during his stay in Köthen, Germany, while he was working for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen. The first of these properties has been demolished, so Bach House (German: "Bachhaus Köthen") normally refers to the extant building which the composer occupied in the period 1719-23. This property is on Wallstraße (Wall Street) and was completed in 1719: Bach is assumed to have been the first tenant of the house. Documentary evidence of the allowances paid to Bach suggests that the house was also used by the court orchestra.

Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4 Christ lag in Todes Banden (also spelled "Todesbanden ") ("Christ lay in death's bonds" or "Christ lay in the snares of death"), BWV 4 , is a cantata for Easter by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, one of his earliest church cantatas. It is agreed to be an early work partly for stylistic reasons and partly because there is evidence that it was probably written for a performance in 1707. Bach went on to complete many other works in the same genre, contributing complete cantata cycles for all occasions of the liturgical year. John Eliot Gardiner describes it as Bach's "first-known attempt at painting narrative in music".

Christoph Straus Christoph Straus (1575–1631) was an Austrian composer, cantor and organist. His church music includes polyphonic pieces and polychoral Masses, including a notable Requiem for high and low choirs. Although his textures were, by current standards, old-fashioned at the time, his word painting proves his acquaintance with the newest Italian music. He was employed as Court composer by Emperor Ferdinand II from 1616 to 1620 and rose to the post of Kapellmeister in St Stephen's Cathedral. He wrote 36 motets (published in 1613) and 16 surviving masses (1631). His later compositions require a wide variety of orchestral colours.

Gustav Mahler Gustav Mahler (] ; 7 July 1860, Kaliště, Bohemia, now Czech Republic – 18 May 1911, Vienna, Austria-Hungary) was an Austrian late-Romantic composer, and one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer he acted as a bridge between the 19th century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 his compositions were rediscovered and championed by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century.

Cantata Cycle 1716-1717 (Telemann) The Cantata Cycle 1716-1717 (also known as the Concertante Cycle) is a series of cantatas written by Georg Philipp Telemann while he was Frankfurt's Director of Municipal Music. In addition to composing music for civic occasions, he conducted and composed for several churches in the city, including the Katharinenkirche and the Barfüßerkirche where he was Kapellmeister. During his time in Frankfurt (1712–1721), he composed five new year-long cycles of sacred music for the Sundays and holy days of the ecclesiastical calendar. He also completed several cycles which he had begun earlier in Eisenach where he had been the leader of the court singers. After taking up his post in Hamburg in 1721, he continued to supply Frankfurt with cantata cycles — one complete cycle every three years, as part of an arrangement to maintain his citizenship of that city.

Uns ist ein Kind geboren, BWV 142 Uns ist ein Kind geboren (Unto us a child is born), BWV 142, is a Christmas cantata formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. The text is based on a libretto by Erdmann Neumeister first published in 1711. Since the cantata was first published by the Bach-Gesellschaft in the nineteenth century, Bach scholars, including Johannes Schreyer, Arnold Schering and Alfred Dürr, have not accepted this attribution, although the identity of the original composer has not been established. In the late twentieth century it was withdrawn from the Neue Bach Ausgabe, replaced by a detailed historical commentary on authenticity and attribution by Andreas Glöckner. Because of uncertainty of attribution, it remains in Anhang II of the BWV. It is now considered plausible that Johann Kuhnau, Bach's predecessor as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, may have composed the cantata, as originally suggested by .
