In 1711, Bach was (yes THE Bach you heard about in music appreciation) real deal Java made its way to Europe and down into Germany - Leipzig opened public coffee houses and lo and behold, Bach drank coffee and wrote a "cantata" from the latin contare "to sing or make song".. so a cantata is a collection of songs either sacred (religious - often following a special day in the church year) or secular like this one. Starbuck's gone primative. Here is the test to the movement found below. Poetry wasn't his strong suit.
A cat its mousing never quits,
A girl remains a coffee-nurser.
The mothers love to use the brew,
The grandmas fondly drank it too,
So who would now the daughters censùre?
Bach's version of a Starbuck's break...latte anyone?
