This wonderful hymn for Eucharist was crafted with an eye toward the specific needs of the Communion processional. Both the tempo marking and strict rhythm move the piece along with stately grace, while the memorable refrain makes it possible to process and sing without the aid of a hymnal. The text consists almost entirely of images inviting contemplation of the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. While orchestral and choral elaboration is available, the composition can also be sung unison, with the assembly on the refrain and a cantor singing the verses.

Version in A major (version in G major: Carus 31.182/50) The cantata Himmelskonig, sei willkommen BWV 182 holds a special place in Johann Sebastian Bach's biography. He had been employed as organist and chamber musician at the court of Weimar since 1708; on 2 March 1714, he was appointed concert master of the court, and his inauguration music for this occasion was Himmelskonig, sei willkommen. The cantata was first performed on Palm Sunday of that year, 25 March 1714. Bach performed this cantata several times - always revising and amending it - both in Weimar and in Leipzig. Of the altogether four versions, the first Leipzig version has been selected for the present new edition. Unlike the Weimar versions, it can be realized effectively using modern performance means. In his debut composition of 1714, the newly appointed concert master demonstrated his abilities: the eight movements contain a multitude of beautiful and rewarding challenges for choir and vocal soloists alike, and in addition there is the unusual attraction of a virtuoso solo part for the recorder. Score available separately - see item CA.3118200.

This Southern Harmony tune is paired with two texts: a Triduum hymn and a hymn to the Holy Spirit. Nicely arranged for three mixed voices, the choral writing develops as the piece progresses through its three stanzas. This setting can be sung on Holy Thursday, and again with the alternate text on Pentecost—or the Sundays leading up to that feast.
