Werk BWV 131

Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir (Out of the depths I call, Lord, to You),[1] BWV 131,[a] is a church cantata by the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. It was composed in either 1707 or 1708, which makes it one of Bach's earliest cantatas. Some sources suggest that it could be his earliest surviving work in this form, but current thinking is that there are one or two earlier examples.
