BWV 116 (K 99). Advent 1724 to Epiphany 1725 A new liturgical year starts with the first Sunday of Advent: when a cantata cycle is listed without taking the chronology of composition into account, this is where the list starts. The period from Advent 1724 to Epiphany 1725 included Christmas (25December), New Year (1January) and Epiphany (6January): First Sunday of Advent (Advent I), : Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, BWV 62 (K 100). In Leipzig concerted music was not allowed for the second to fourth Sunday of Advent (silent time), so the next cantatas in the cycle are those for Christmas: Christmas Day (Feast of the Nativity of Christ), : Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 91 (K 101). Second Day of Christmas (Christmas 2), : Christum wir sollen loben schon, BWV 121 (K 102). Third Day of Christmas (Christmas 3), : Ich freue mich in dir, BWV 133 (K 103). First Sunday after Christmas (Christmas I), : Das neugeborne Kindelein, BWV 122 (K 104). New Year (Feast of the Circumcision of Christ), : Jesu, nun sei gepreiset, BWV 41 (K 105). In 1725 the next occasion was Epiphany, while there was no Sunday between New Year and Epiphany: Epiphany, : Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123 (K 106). Sundays after Epiphany There were six Sundays between Epiphany and Lent in 1725: Epiphany I, : Meinen Jesum laß ich nicht, BWV 124 (K 107). Epiphany II, : Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid, BWV 3 (K 108). Epiphany III, : Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit, BWV 111 (K 109). The three last Sundays before Ash Wednesday are called Septuagesima, Sexagesima and Estomihi. In 1725 the feast of Purification (2 February) fell between the first and the second of these Sundays: Septuagesima, : Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn, BWV 92 (K 110). Purification, : Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin, BWV 125 (K 111). Sexagesima, : Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort, BWV 126 (K 112). Estomihi, : Herr Jesu Christ, wahr' Mensch und Gott, BWV 127 (K 113). Lent up to Palm Sunday In Leipzig there was no music during Lent (starting on Ash Wednesday), except for Annunciation (25March) and the Passion music on Good Friday. In 1725 Annunciation coincided with Palm Sunday: Annunciation — Palm Sunday, : Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1 (K 114). After this cantata the consecutive set of chorale
