In 1736 Georg Christian Schemelli was "Schloss-Cantor" at Naumburg. Hymnal published: Leipzig 1736. Bach was involved in the production of Schemelli's hymnal, but research has discredited the methods by which some of these items (BWV 439-507) were attributed to him - by Bach unless otherwise stated ('The New Grove Bach Family', by Christoph Wolff, MacMillan 1983)
