Johann Sebastian Bach's funeral cantata "Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit" (BWV 106), widely known as the "Actus tragicus", is considered one of the composer's most profound and moving early masterpieces. Likely composed around 1707 for the funeral of his uncle Tobias Lämmerhirt, this work continues to touch audiences with its comforting reassurance and exceptionally intimate palette of sound. The distinctive chamber instrumentation—featuring vocal soloists, four-part mixed choir (SATB), two recorders, two viole da gamba, and organ—endows this funeral music with a warm and unique character. Published by the renowned Carus-Verlag, this full score (version in F major) provides choirs, conductors, and ensembles with an authoritative, high-quality edition to bring this timeless treasure of Baroque vocal music authentically to life.
