BWV 137

I have listened to the piece for days before going into making sketches for the coloring book. I would listen to it first thing in the morning, during commutes to work and in the evenings as I unwind. J. S. Bach's Cantata BWV 137, to me, is about the celebration of love and life, and how it becomes greater through a conversation, which is only possible through coexistence. Wherever and whenever I listen to it, I'm taken to a scene where people are dancing and celebrating. There would be passersby that stop and ask what the occasion is. Then, the celebrators would answer; 'nothing!'
