List Of Secular Cantatas By Johann Sebastian Bach
Apart from church cantata (Bach), his hundreds of church cantatas, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote secular cantatas in Weimar, Köthen and Leipzig, for instance for members of the Royal-Polish and Prince-electoral Saxonian family (e.g. ''Trauer-Ode''), or other public or private occasions (e.g. ''Hunting Cantata''). The text of these cantatas was occasionally in dialect (e.g. ''Peasant Cantata'') or in Italian (e.g. ''Amore traditore''). Many of the secular cantatas were lost, but for some of these the text and the occasion are known, for instance when Picander later published their libretto (e.g. BWV BWV Anh. 11, Anh. 11–BWV Anh. 12, 12). Some of the secular cantatas had a plot carried by mythological figures of Greek antiquity (e.g. ''Der Streit zwischen Phoebus und Pan''), others were almost miniature buffo operas (e.g. ''Coffee Cantata''). Extant secular cantatas are published in the New Bach Edition (Neue Bach-Ausgabe, NBA), Series I, volumes 35 to 40, with the two Italian ...

BWV 201
(Swift, swift, you swirling winds), BWV 201, is a secular cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, on a libretto by Picander (pen name of Christian Friedrich Henrici). It is a dramma per musica, likely composed for a public performance in 1729, around which time its oldest extant printed libretto was published. The text, titled (''The Contest between Phoebus and Pan''), is based on the " Ears of a Donkey" story in Ovid's ''Metamorphoses'', and mocks unsophisticated music in favour of a more intelligent composition style. The music is scored for SATTBB singers, and a baroque orchestra which includes trumpets, timpani, traversos, oboes, strings and continuo. The cantata has been recorded several times from the 1950s to the 21st century. History was likely composed for Leipzig's autumn fair of 1729, or, in that year, for a weekly concert outside the periods of Leipzig's fairs.

Bach wrote the work as a '' serenata'' for the celebration of New Year's Day 1719.
