Beautiful as usual!
I sang this piece often in my choir, both separately and inside the cantata. Simple, but always moving.
This is one of those times when the consoling music of Bach works magic. Bach sometimes makes use dance, other times he moves us, and all the time he simply blows our mind with proofs of his genius, often by extracting so much out of very simple chorale melodies.
Yes Gilles, and I think Bach was very human ( he got a reprimand from his boss that he had played the organ too long in a service, so at the next opportunity he deliberately stopped too early, just to tork him off. :-)
