Story behind the song
During Bach’s time in Leipzig, Germany, he wrote a total of 200 cantatas, largely to meet the Leipzig churches' demand for about 58 different cantatas each year. Johann Schop (1590-1664) composed the movement's underlying chorale melody. Bach's (1685-1750) contribution was to harmonize and orchestrate it. This still-popular chorale, occurs at the close of Bach's Cantata No. 147.
