The funeral repertory represents a privileged field in the history of music, which reflects the deepest expression of each composer or era. Funeral music was generally approached at the end of the works or at mature moments in composing art. We generally find in this type of repertory the most obvious spiritual and compositional refinement, a climax of stylistic values in the art of each composer; a synthesis of the creativity of great artists. Bach has entered the field of funeral music only in a very small vocal portion of his vocal-symphonic repertory, small in size and means of composition: cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit, BWV 106. The work is part of his religious cantatas, being composed during his early years, in 1707-1708.
