Johann Sebastian Bach’s Vom Himmel kam der Engel Schaar, BWV 607 (c.1711-1713) from the Orgelbüchlein: the flowing semiquaver motion, in rising and falling scales, suggests the angels sweeping through the vastness of heaven. Even the pedal line joins in, though in slower values, as if grounding the celestial motion below. Bach follows the church year throughout the Orgelbüchlein, but he never lets the calendar become predictable. So this Christmas chorale appears in a minor key: joyful in subject, yet serious in tone, as if faith’s mystery needed a touch of awe, not just brightness. Luther’s hymn tells of the angels announcing Christ’s birth to the shepherds, and Bach paints that scene with quick figuration in the upper voices and broader, slower motion in the bass. His manuscript also reveals a surprise: those widening coloraturas seem to have been added later, just look at how tightly the notes are packed into the bar.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Agnus Dei from the Mass in B minor BWV 232 (1749): an alto aria in G minor with violin obbligato, adapted from the lost 1725 wedding serenade aria Entfernet euch, ihr kalten Herzen (“Withdraw, you cold hearts”). Bach also reused the same source for Ach, bleibe doch in the Ascension Oratorio BWV 11. Scored for alto, unison violins, and continuo, its texture resembles a trio sonata: voice and violins engage in a continuous dialogue above the bass. The only movement in the entire Mass set in a flat key, G minor gives it a uniquely dark, intimate color. Chromatic appoggiaturas, descending lines, and expressive dissonances vividly portray peccata mundi, while the pleading miserere nobis unfolds in long, sorrowful phrases. With remarkably economical means, Bach achieves one of the emotional summits of the Mass: a deeply personal prayer for mercy before the triumphant Dona nobis pacem.
