Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (Mighty God, His time is ever best) BWV 106 'Actus tragicus'
Cantata for a funeral service.

Since there are no original sources or documents concerning the firstperformance of the funeral cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit BWV 106, it is impossible to establish the year of origin of this work, called Actus tragicus by Bach. The striking resemblance to the cantatas BWV131 Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu Dir (presumably 1707), and BWV 71 Gott ist mein König (1708) both of which were composed in Mühlhausen suggests that the funeral cantata was also written in Mühlhausenin1707.
