Note: Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht ("Be still, stop chattering"), otherwise known as the Coffee Cantata, (BWV 211) is a secular cantata written by Bach between 1732 and 1734. Although classified as a cantata, it is essentially a miniature comic opera.

BWV 212, "Mer hahn en neue Oberkeet" (We’ve a new lord of the manor), is known as the peasant cantata, described as a "cantata en burlesque" on Picander's printed libretto and Bach's score fully complements the intentions of the libretto: A courting couple, he wanting a quick roll in the hay, she disliking such vulgarity, all to the background of praise for the new squire.
