About

The three Christmas cantatas brought together here belong to the same period, just after Bach became Cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. Christum wir sollen loben schon and Sehet, welch' ein Liebe were composed for the second and the third days of Christmas in 1723 respectively, whilst Ich freue mich was composed for the third day of Christmas in 1724.This third cantata is stylistically the latest but all three make use of the cornet and the trombone, instruments that Bach rarely otherwise employed.
