Misc. Comments
For the 3rd Day of Christmas.
Commentary on the movements
- A motet-style movement rare for Bach's cantatas. This, combined with the colla parte instrumentation lend the movement a "severe, archaic character"1.
- A plain chorale setting.
- Secco recitative.
- A plain chorale setting.
- Full of vigorous figuration, a "fun" aria.
- Secco recitative.
- Alto and oboe d'amore, in the same register, lend this a slower dance feel.
- A plain chorale setting.
