What is the difference between ‘Cantata No. 29, “We Thank Thee Lord”' and 'Partita No. 3?' I've been familiar with the Cantata for a while now, as it's my favorite in Michael Murry's 'Bach Organ Blaster' CD. I'm on duty at 3:20AM listening to my new Bela Fleck classical disc confused at the title of the same tune being different from that of the Murry CD.

A sonata is for instuments only. A cantata is for voice, with instrumental accompaniment (Rolling Stones, for example). A partita is the name for a suite or collection of cantatas. Generally, this comes up only with Bach. So both references were correct; Cantata No. 29 is contained in Partita No. 3.
