'''''Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt''''' is a three-movement [[pasticcio]] [[motet]] for double [[SATB]] choir. It includes music by [[Georg Philipp Telemann]] and [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. The text of the motet is a German paraphrase of [[Psalm 100]].<ref name="Melamed">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JDlBMqI628UC&pg=PA89|title=J. S.

There is some doubt as to who compiled the work: it may have been Bach or [[Gottlob Harrer]], who after Bach's death in 1750 succeeded him as [[Thomaskantor]].<ref name=BDW1471>{{BDh|1471|0|2019-03-11}}</ref> ''Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt'' appears as {{nobreak|[[BWV Anh.]] 160}}, that is in [[BWV Anh. III|Anhang III]], the annex of spurious works, of the 1998 edition of the ''[[Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis]]'' (BWV).

==History==
The scribe of one of the extant manuscripts of the work, a manuscript that attributes the work to Bach, was formerly believed to be [[Johann Christoph Altnickol]],<ref name="Melamed" /> Bach's son-in-law, but appears actually to be Johann Christoph Farlau.<ref name="BDS0856">{{BDh|856|00|2020-01-15|Source|D-B Mus. ms. Bach P 37, Fascicle 1}}</ref> Thanks to the researches of [[Peter Wollny]], Farlau has been identified as copyist of a number of works by Bach, notably an early version of the [[St Matthew Passion]].<ref>Peter Wollny, ''Tennstedt, Leipzig, Naumburg, Halle – Neuerkenntnisse zur Bach-Überlieferung in Mitteldeutschland'', ''[[Bach-Jahrbuch]]'' 2002, pp. 36–47.</ref> Farlau is believed to have studied with Altnickol in the 1750s.<ref>David Schulenberg (2010).''The Music of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach''. [[University of Rochester Press]].{{Page needed|date=November 2015}}</ref> His interest in Bach's music continued after Altnickol's death. His copy of ''Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt'' is dated to the second half of the 18th century ({{circa}}1760–1789).<ref name="BDS0856" /> Another manuscript of around the same time attributes the work to "Bach and Telemann".<ref>{{BDh|2792|0|2020-01-19|Source|D-DS Mus. ms. 1325}}</ref>
==Movements==
The first movement of ''Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt'' is likely an adaptation by Bach of a composition by Telemann.<ref name=BDW1471 /><ref>[[Philipp Spitta]]. ''Johann Sebastian Bach''. Leipzig: [[Breitkopf & Härtel]], third print (1921). [https://archive.org/stream/johsebbach01spit#page/800/mode/2up Vol. I, endnote 24 pp. 800–801] and [https://archive.org/stream/johsebbach02spit#page/428/mode/2up Vol. II, pp. 428–429]</ref>
The second movement of the motet is derived from a composition by Bach: it is based on the second movement of his cantata [[BWV 28]], which also appears as a separate motet for SATB choir [[BWV 28/2a]] (''Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren'', formerly [[BWV 231]]).<ref name=BDW1471 /><ref name=BDW0036>{{BDh|36|000|2020-02-07}}</ref> The church cantata [[Gottlob! nun geht das Jahr zu Ende, BWV 28|''Gottlob! Nun geht das Jahr zu Ende'', BWV 28]] was premiered by Bach at the end of 1725.<ref name="Melamed" /> The second cantata movement differs from the rest of the cantata in being in motet style. It is based on [[Johann Gramann]]'s [[hymn]] "{{lang|de|[[Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren]]}}" (1530), the melody of which provides a ''[[cantus firmus]]''. The cantata movement BWV 28/2 and the motets (BWV 28/2a and TWV 8:10) use different stanzas of the text of the hymn.
The third movement of ''Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt'' is an adaptation of the "Amen" TWV 1:1066 by Telemann, and was probably added to the composition by Harrer.<ref name=BDW1471 />
