Description:
Both choirs are based on a biblical text: the opening choir is based on a well-known Old Testament prophecy of the Christmas event (Isaiah 9:5) and the final choir on a passage about the mystery of faith from the letter to Timothy (1 Timothy 3:16): "Fathomably great is the mystery of God". The opening chorus and final chorus are largely homophonic, but the second, Christmassy half-movement from the Timothy passage ("God is revealed in the flesh") is developed into a large final fugue.
It is one of Homilius' many cantatas that not only stands out due to its very vocal lines, typical of the time, often accompanied by a lively orchestral accompaniment, but also due to its surprising overall structure.
