I am researching the performance of J.S. Bach's music in Ireland. I have found a Dublin Journal for 1855 which contains a reference to a performance of a Bach Chorale ('There is a calm for those who weep'). Can you help me to identify this Chorale. This is the extract:
Extract from SAUNDERS NEWSLETTER. (Dublin, Ireland) 3rd March 1855.
ANTIENT CONCERTS.
The Societys Concert of last evening A variety of choral pieces constituted the first part The beautiful cantata Saviour of Sinners by Mendelssohn, followed, the leading tenor part being taken by Mr Geary. A chorale, There is a calm for those who weep, by J.S. Bach, accompanied on the organ completed the first part.
