Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt
Not to be confused with Ich weiß, dass mein Erlöser lebt, ABA I, 7; I know that my Redeemer liveth; or Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebet, K. 572/33.
Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt (I know that my Redeemer lives), TWV 1:877, BWV 160, is a church cantata composed around 1725 by Georg Philipp Telemann for Easter Sunday, formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach.[1]
A manuscript copy from the 19th century identified Bach as the composer of the work, and on this basis it was given a BWV number in an 1886 catalogue. However, by the 1950s two manuscripts from the 18th century had been found that attributed the work to Telemann; the piece was given the new number TWV 1:877.[2]
The piece is a solo cantata with lyrics by Erdmann Neumeister. It is scored for solo tenor voice, violin, bassoon, and basso continuo.[1]
