BWV 126/1
Concerto super Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort - 1725 - Sexagesimae
canto fermo in soprano
The composition starts off with a fanfare motif that is derived from the first four notes of the cantus firmus. The cantus firmus lines are in soprano and are both connected and supported by a polyphonic web of voices in Italian style. The almost warlike atmosphere of the piece can no doubt be traced back to the text:
Erhalt uns, Herr, bei deinem Wort
Und steur des Papsts und Türken Mord
Die Jesum Christum, deinen Sohn,
Stürzen wollen von seinem Thron.
II/P (C - g3)
