Wachet auf, ruft uns die stimme
I am re-discovering all of Bach magnificent Cantatas once more and BWV140 is one of my all-time favourites.
I love the absolutely perfect build up of the vocal ornamentations to the crescendo of the choir from 4:26. Hearing the cantatas is almost equivalent to getting a virtual pair of wings if you close your eyes.
Did you know that Bach wrote a brand new cantata every single week for the Sunday worship service, and that there are nearly 260 of them? Prolific was a gross understatement when it came to Bach.
