There are just over twenty secular cantatas in Bach's prolific output, which include
The Coffee Cantata (No 211),
The Wedding Cantata (No 202),
Phoebus and Pan (No 201) and
The Hunt Cantata (No 208) which contains the famous aria
Sheep May Safely Graze.Written for four vocal soloists it was originally scored for a relative ly large orchestra (including flutes (recorders), oboes and horns) and mixed choir. Although secular in character, the words describe how well afaithful shepherd keeps watch over his flock and hence has obvious allu sions to the teachings of the Christian church. Bring a bit of the Baroque era to your concert with this first class arrangement by Philip Sparke.
