Cantata 91 ‘Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ’ for Christmas Day 1724 employs in the opening chorus and final chorale the melody of the same name by Luther, the classical Christmas hymn of the day in Lutheran Germany. The opening chorus consists of a number of layers and voice groups, with the orchestra operating independently with stereo effects between two horns and timpani on the one hand and three oboes and strings on the other, while the chorale melody is sung in long notes by the sopranos, supported by the altos, tenors and basses in an agile three-part texture. No.2 is a combination of recitative and chorale for soprano solo, in which the chorale lines are supported by continuously repeated motifs from the chorale in the basso continuo. The chromaticism illustrating the word ‘Jammertal’ at the end of the bass recitative No.4 is a particularly fine moment.
