Erwählte Pleißenstadt, BWV 216a
Erwählte Pleißenstadt ("O chosen Leipzig", literally: "Chosen city on the [river] Pleiße"), BWV 216a,[lower-alpha 1] is a secular cantata composed by Johann Sebastian Bach.
It was a homage cantata for the Leipzig Town Council and was first performed in 1728 or later. The music is lost, but there is scope for its partial reconstruction.[1][2] The work is known to have been a parody of Vergnügte Pleißenstadt BWV 216 (a wedding cantata with text by Picander), which survives in fragmentary form.
