    A Bach opera (help)

    Does anyuone knows a Bach opera about the greek god of the wind Aeolus? I've heard it long time ago but I could never find it.
    One (very powerful) aria I can remember has some similarities with the "et resurrexit" chorus from Bach's mass in B minor.
    Any ideas? any recording recommendation, perhaps?
    Thanks in advance, Luis.

    I'm not aware of any opera by J.S.Bach - there is however a secular cantata called 'Aeolus Appeased ' (no.205, 1725) - There are nearly 24 surviving Secular cantatas and they are Bach’s nearest approach to comic opera, and some of them were presented as costumed masques.
