Bach wrote the cantata to conclude his first set of
cantatas for the Christmas season in Leipzig on the
Feast of Epiphany. He had performed five cantatas,
Christen, ätzet diesen Tag, BWV 63 (composed possibly
in 1713) and the new works Darzu ist erschienen der
Sohn Gottes, BWV 40, Sehet, welch eine Liebe hat uns
der Vater erzeiget, BWV 64, Singet dem Herrn ein neues
Lied, BWV 190, and Mein liebster Jesus ist verloren,
BWV 154.
Bach first performed the cantata for Epiphany on 6
January 1724. In his Christmas Oratorio of 1734, Bach
dedicated Part VI, Herr, wenn die stolzen Feinde
schnauben, to the topic and the occasion and first
performed it on 6 January 1735.
The cantata is structured in seven movements and is
festively scored for tenor and bass soloists, a
four-part choir, two horns, two recorders, two oboes da
caccia, two violins, viola, and basso continuo. Bach
employed a pair of horns before in his Christmas
cantata Darzu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes, BWV 40,
and later in his cantata for Christmas 1724, Gelobet
seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 91, and in Part IV of his
Christmas Oratorio.
