"The two men's choir pieces, Op. 115, were commissioned in 1837 by Johann Christian August Clarus (1774-1854), physician in Leipzig and since 1836 rector of the University of Leipzig. He ordered the works for the annual ceremony to commemorate the medical professor Dr. Christian Martin Koch (1752-1803). The premiere took place on February 12, 1837, with the participation of 12 Thomaner (members of St. Thomas Choir)."
