The cantata BWV 166 is among the church works which were performed during Bach's first year in office at Leipzig. It was heard for the first time on Sunday the 7th May 1724. Its tonal language is plastic and fervent, emphasized especially by the prominent role of the obbligato oboe and by the decoration of the chorale by the strings. The present edition gives a reading which interprets the surviving original material afresh. Score available separately - see item CA.3116600.
