- Das Alte Jahr vergangen ist, BWV 1091
[2:42]
Played on one lonely flute, with a single 16' stop duplicating the bass line. Like the more famous setting in the Liturgical Year, Bach expresses
sadness at the passing of the old year. From the Neumeister Chorale Collection.

The old year now hath passed away,
The old year now hath passed away,
We thank Thee, O our God today

When danger and distress were near,
When danger and distress were near,
