Lobet den Herrn alle Heiden, BWV 230 "Praise the Lord all ye heathen"

It is not known when the work was composed. It was first published in 1821. The publisher claimed to have had access to an autograph score. The work was subsequently catalogued as one of a set of six surviving motets by Bach, BWV 225–230. (This set now seems somewhat arbitrary as modern scholarship includes more works among the motets). It is the only one of the set to be scored for four voices. It is also unusual in that (lightly-scored) instrumental accompaniment is specified.
