It was originally performed on the radio that is correct but its first live performance it was labeled a cantata. It also was in the Category:Cantatas long before i added a category specificying it's year. You didn't remove that category. Why do you think its not a cantata which is a short vocal work with either solo or choral work or both?-Rainbowofpeace (talk) 15:53, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
