Bach composed BWV 135 as the fourth cantata in the second annual cycle of Leipzig cantatas. The hymn Ach Herr, mich armen Sunder was written in the 16th century to the tune of Herzlich tut mich verlangen. The unidentified Leipzig librettist of the 2nd cycle of chorale cantatas made free use of this hymn as the basis of an exemplary cantata text.

Cantata for the Trinity Sunday. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Frauke Heinze. Stuttgart Urtext Edition: Bach vocal. O Heiliges Geist- Und Wasserbad. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Trinity. Single Part, Violin 1. Composed 1715(?). BWV 165. 8 pages. Duration 13 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.165/11. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3116511).

ISBN 9790007209087. Text language: German/English. Text: Franck, Salomo.

The cantata O heilges Geist- und Wasserbad (O Holy spirit's solemn rite) BWV 165 is one of Bach's earliest cantata compositions and was presumably first performed in the Weimar Schlosskirche for Trinity Sunday in 1715. With a simple instrumentation of only strings and basso continuo (including bassoon), the cantata offers an alternative to the later Leipzig cantatas for the Feast of the Holy Trinity, also with regard to the vivid interpretation of the text in the librettos by Salomon Franck. In the two expressive recitatives and the three distinctively different arias, Bach repeatedly emphasizes the central words of the text, which focuses on the meaning of the rebirth of the spirit through baptism.
