Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt is a three-movement pasticcio motet for double SATB choir.
[4] 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.
[7] The first movement of Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt is likely an adaptation by Bach of a composition by Telemann.
It is based on Johann Gramann's hymn "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren" (1530), the melody of which provides a cantus firmus.
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.
