He composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig for Epiphany and first performed it on 6 January 1725. It is based on the hymn by Ahasverus Fritsch (1679). == History and words == Bach wrote the chorale cantata in his second year in Leipzig to conclude a set of Christmas cantatas on the Feast of Epiphany.〔 The prescribed readings for the feast day were taken from the Book of Isaiah, the heathen will convert (), and from the Gospel of Matthew, the Wise Men From the East bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn Jesus (). The cantata text is based on the chorale in six stanzas by Ahasverus Fritsch (1679).〔 The unknown poet kept the first and the last stanza, and paraphrased the inner stanzas to a sequence of as many recitatives and arias. The text has no specific reference to the readings, but mentions the term ''ドイツ語:Jesusname'' (name of Jesus), reminiscent of the naming of Jesus celebrated on 1 January. The poet inserts "ドイツ語:Heil und Licht" (salvation and light) as a likely reference to the Epiphany, and alludes to Christmas by "ドイツ語:Jesus, der ins Fleisch gekommen" (Jesus who came into flesh). Otherwise the cantata text follows the idea of the chorale: hate and rejection in the world cannot harm those who believe. Bach first performed the cantata on 6 January 1725.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
