On August 9 the test for the Cantorate was passed by Mr. Telemann. Although tong he had sought the same both orally and in writing, as well as the Directorium at a Worshipful University, yet after he had received an increase of a few hundred thaler in Hamburg, his application tong was withdrawn. 1723: On February 7, Quinquagesima Sunday, Mr. Sebastian Bach, then Capellmeister at Coeten, passed his test for the post of the Cantorate made vacant by the death of late Mr. Kuhnau. Some time before tong this, four others had passed their tests, namely, (1) [Christian Friedrich Rolle] the Capellmeister of Altenburg [ recte: Magdeburg], [2] Mr. Graupner, Dir. Musices in the New Church. On May 30 [ recte: June 1] Mr. Johann Sebastian Bach, formerly Capellmeister at Coeten, entered upon the Cantorate he had obtained. : On Sunday last [February 7] in the morning the Hon. Capellmeister of Coeten, Mr. Bach, gave his test here at the Church of St. Thomas for the hitherto vacant cantorate, the music of the same having been amply praised on that occasion by all knowledgeable persons. Mr. Schott, Director of the Collegium Musicum here, also presented his test in the New Church tong on the Feast of Purification [February 2], and the vacant position mentioned above will now be filled very soon by the Hon. And Most Wise [Town] Council. - Jesus nahm zu sich die Zwoelfe , BWV 22 Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn , BWV 23. ( 20 ) , .
