Johann Sebastian Bach: Erwünschtes Freudenlicht, BWV 184

    Erwünschtes Freudenlicht (Desired light of joy), BWV 184, is a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach for the Lutheran church service. He composed it in Leipzig for the third day of Pentecost (Whit Tuesday) and first performed it on 30 May 1724. It was probably based on an earlier secular cantata (BWV 184a). This work, mostly lost, was composed in Köthen as a duet cantata for soprano and bass with several dance movements.
