Bach's Cantata #106 (IIRC the first he actually wrote or the first that he
wrote that we have) also carries the (ceremonious or other) title "Actus
Tragicus." Not hard to miss at all. The music is one of those experiences
that creates its own cogency as it goes along even for those of us who do
not share in the religious views that it expresses.
