Mor
e than usual, in this
chorale cantata the hymn
is continuously present;
it appears as the cantus
firmus in four of the six
movements and gives the
work an overall unity. In
addition to the opening
chorus and in the closing
chorale, it appears in a
trio, a rare occurrence
in Bach's vocal works,
and even in a recitative.
The latter is performed
by recorders. The rich
scoring for winds -
besides the recorders it
also includes three oboes
- characterizes this
cantata, which is
performed after Christmas
and whose text refers
back to Christmas and
also points to the new
year. Score and parts
available separately -
see item CA.3112200.
