Commentary on the movements
Prima Pars:
- Chorus: Schwingt freudig euch empor. This bipartite movement is derived mostly from the two opening figures.
- Choral: Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland. The first of the chorales which replace recitatives in this cantata. Here, the chorale is exposed as a duet with voices doubled by oboes.
- Aria (Tenor): Die Liebe zieht mit sanften Schritten. "A celebration of the entry of Jesus."1
- Chorale: Zwingt die Saiten in Cythara. A plain chorale setting.
Secunda Pars:
- Aria (bass): Willkommen, werter Schatz. An joyful aria welcoming the Lord.
- Chorale (Tenor): Der du bist dem Vater gleich. A true cantus firmus in the tenor with the oboes d'amore accompanying in fast notes.
- Aria (Soprano): Auch mit gedämpften, schwachen Stimmen. The obbligato is a muted violin. The entire aria shares this character, echoing the text.
- Chorale: Lob sei Gott dem Vater ton. A plain chorale setting.
