Composed in 1715, Cantata 31 gives joyous expression expression to the Easter story and Christ's resurrection. The performance material, drawn from the New Bach Edition, allows the work to be performed either in its richly scored Weimar version or its later Leipzig version, with ossia passages on a double staff to simplify the choice between oboes and oboes d'amore. The vocal score is a useful aid to choristers and soloists alike.
