J. S. Bach's Coffee Cantata
J. S. Bach's Coffee Cantata (Peasant Cantata)
''Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht'' BWV 211 - Final Chorus
Libretto by Christian Friedrich Henrici
This cantata, a short musical drama, was composed for performance by Bach's Collegium at Zimmerman's Coffee House, Leipzig, between 1732 & 1734. It is now brought to you by Café Zimmerman (Instrumental Ensemble, which is composed of six musicians - five bow instruments and a harpsichord).
Apparently Bach's love for coffee was well-known. It's reported that two of his prized possessions were two silver coffeepots.
