"Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen" (Praise God in his kingdoms), BWV 11, also known as the Ascension Oratorio (Himmelfahrts-Oratorium), is an oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach, marked by him as Oratorium In Festo Ascensionis (Oratorio for the feast of the Ascension). It was probably composed in 1735 for the service for Ascension and first performed on 19 May 1735. The text additional to biblical sources and chorales was presumably written by Picander who had worked for the Christmas Oratorio before. The oratorio spans eleven movements, with a performance time of around half an hour, performed in two parts, 1--6 before the sermon and 7--11 after the sermon.
