Tilge Höchster meine Sünden (Cancel highest my sins) BWV 1083 is a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. The music is based on the Stabat Mater (1736) by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. Bach’s work of the 1740s is classed as a transcription or reworking. The fact that it now has its own BWV number is the result of Bach having added an additional harmonic line to the music.
