I'm reading up on Maurizio Cazzati (1616-1678), using the non-academic sources available to me.

Most refer to his time as maestro di cappella at San Petronio in Bologna as controversial; some suggest he was forced out in 1671. A couple of sources describe the end thus:

"…a controversy with the organist Giulia Cesare Arresti over musical errors in the Kyrie of his Missa primi toni Op.17…"

I cannot imagine living in a time when writing a piece with a badly-prepared dissonance would result in being sacked.

The Best of ʺGravity Bachʺ: 2025 wurde in der Thomaskirche Leipzig Musikgeschichte geschrieben – der Organist Johannes Lang stellte sich der monumentalen Herausforderung, das gesamte Orgelwerk Johann Sebastian Bachs innerhalb von 22 Stunden aufzuführen. Ballett-Ensembles tanzten zur Bach-Musik. Julia Sophie Wagner und Daniel Hope führten als Moderatoren durch den Abend.

The first piece that opened me up to the vocal side of Bach was the St John Passion, but immediately afterwards it was a disc with two cantatas on it – BWV 21 and BWV 42. (Both conducted by Philippe Herreweghe.)

This is the second of those, and it's a stunner.

The longer I live with Bach's vocal music, the more I am certain that it is there where we find him at his most whole, the most complete as a composer.

My path to Bach was a function of my upbringing and my instrument; for far too long I knew only instrumental music. When I discovered the cantatas, masses and oratorios, a different picture emerged, one I liked better.

Here, a few hours in advance of his birthday (O.S. 21 March 1685), is a solo cantata, Widerstehe doch der Sünde (BWV 54), sung by Maarten Engeltjes with the Netherlands Bach Society.
