Entfernet euch, ihr heitern Sterne (Disperse yourselves, ye stars, serenely!),
BWV 1156 (formerly BWV Anh. 9 ),
[1] is a birthday
cantata by
Johann Sebastian Bach .
[2] He composed it in
Leipzig to celebrate the 57th birthday of the Elector of Saxony, King
Augustus II the Strong ,
[3] and it was performed for him on his birthday, 12 May 1727, on the
Markt square of
Leipzig , by students of the
University of Leipzig ,
[4] with Bach directing.
[3] The king was also presented with the work's
libretto , written by
Christian Friedrich Haupt .
[3]
The music to this secular birthday cantata by Bach is lost.
[2]
[3] It has been speculated from the surviving libretto, however, that several movements from the
Mass in B minor are derived from it. A reconstruction has been created using the music of the Mass.
The cantata is counted among Bach's works for celebrations of the
Leipzig University , Festmusiken zu Leipziger Universitätsfeiern .
[5]
Recordings
The reconstruction by Dr. Klaus Höfner has been recorded.
