Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750):
LASSET UNS DEN NICHT ZERTEILEN
Chorus from the St. John Passion.
The handwriting is by Johann Nathanael Bammler, who was a prefect in St. Thomas Boys Choir (Leipzig, Germany) and an assistant to Bach in the late 1740s.
The St. John Passion was composed in the beginning of 1724 and had its first performance on Good Friday the same year (April 7). The original score by Bach is now lost. In the late 1730s, Bach began writing a new fair copy of the score, but he broke off his writing in the middle of the recitative "Derselbige Jünger". It is known that a planned passion performance in 1739 was cancelled by the church authorities in Leipzig, because Bach had not in due time seeked their approval of the passion text. Possibly this incident explains why he did not complete the score at that time. In 1749, in connection with a new performance, the score was completed by Bammler. Bach finally reviewed the score and corrected various mistakes.
Lasset uns den nicht zerteilen, sondern darum losen, wes er sein soll.
Let us not tear it, but cast lots whose it should be.
The autograph score by Bammler can be found here (Satz 27):
