The 1728 composition, called "Wedding Cantata BWV
\n 216," was found among the papers of Japanese pianist Chieko Hara,
\n who died in Japan in 2001 aged 86. <\/p>\n

The work, written for the wedding of a daughter of a German customs official,
\nwas missing for 80 years. Professors at the Kunitachi College of Music in Tokyo
\nsay they may release copies
\nfor future performances. <\/p>\n

The eight-page handwritten composition contains soprano and alto parts with notes
\nand lyrics written in German, Professor Tadashi Isoyama said. It is not clear
\nhow Hara obtained the manuscript – its last known owner was a descendant of German
\ncomposer Felix Mendelssohn. <\/p>\n
