Misc. Comments
Commentary on the movements
- Ouverture: Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland. An "ingenious combination of chorale arrangement and French Overture"1. a minor
- Recitativo (Tenor): Der Heiland ist gekommen. Secco recitative. C Major
- Aria (Tenor): Komm, Jesu, komm zu deiner Kirche. The upper strings (including violas) function as obbligato together; this forms a tight trio texture with the tenor and continuo. C Major
- Recitativo (Bass): Siehe, ich stehe vor der Tur. The "true high point of the work"1. The text is illustrated here in brilliant detail. e minor-G Major
- Aria (Soprano): Offne dich, mein ganzes Herze. A continuo aria with many coloratura leaps and runs. G Major
- Chorale: Amen, Amen. A highly ornamented setting. G Major
