Bach reserved some of his most elaborate cantatas for worship on the Sunday before the beginning of Lent – and it was for that very day that he composed the cantatas BWV 22 and 23 in 1723, as test pieces destined to gain him the post of Leipzig Kantor. The cantatas BWV 127 and 159 were written for the same Sunday in subsequent years.
