El Día de San Juan

On this day (24 June) in 1724, Johann Sebastian Bach led the first performance of Christ, unser Herr, zum Jordan kam (BWV 7), the third cantata of his chorale cantata cycle, at St. Nicholas Church in Leipzig. Bach had composed this great work to commemorate Johannistag, the Nativity of John the Baptist, which is celebrated by Christians on this day.
