Composed for the 6th Sunday after Trinity, BWV 9 (It is our salvation come here to us) is based on a hymn by Martin Luther’s Protestant co-founder Paul Speratus. It begins with a bright, light chorale fantasia featuring flute, oboe, strings, continuo, and chorus.
The cantata is then framed by three recitatives that comprise a miniature sermon on our fallen nature and the uplifting promise of redemption and renewal. Between these are two arias that serve as vignettes on the journey of our fall and rise. It concludes with a warm, resonant chorale in E major, offering reassurance and hope.
