Bach was a ] church musician, devoted to the composition of sacred music in German. He wrote more than 200 ]s for the liturgy, most of them in ]. In 1724 he composed a ] for Christmas, which he later integrated into his ].<ref name="steinitz" /> In 1733 he composed a '']'', a setting of '']'' and '']'', for the court of Dresden, the ''Kyrie'' as a lament for the death of ], King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, who had died on 1 February 1733 (he had been received into the ] in order to ascend the throne of Poland in 1697.) The ''Gloria'' was to celebrate his successor, later ]. Bach presented parts of the works to Augustus with a note dated 27 July 1733, in the hope of obtaining the title, "Electoral Saxon Court Composer", complaining that he had "innocently suffered one injury or another" in ].<ref>An English translation of the letter is given in Hans T.
