The music for cantata BWV 80a is lost but can be reconstructed from its parody BWV 80 since BWV 80a/1 corresponds BWV 80/2, BWV 80a/2 corresponds to BWV 80/3, BWV 80a/3 corresponds to BWV 80/4, BWV 80a/4 corresponds to BWV 80/6, BWV 80a/5 corresponds BWV 80/7 and BWV 80a/6 comes from BWV 303. For more details, see the BWV. I am not aware of any recordings of this work in its reconstructed form.
