A carefully crafted, clearly written choral work. For two-part choir with assembly in mind, this is just the right piece for those occasions when a message of hope is appropriate. Evocative of an early American folk hymn, the lyrical melody is paired with a flowing harmony line in the lower voice and effectively modulates up a whole step to the final verse, placing all voices firmly on the melody under a heavenly vocal descant on the Latin text Adoremus in aeternum. Smaller choirs will love this one.

The text of the cantata Dearest Jesus, sore I need Thee for the 1st Epiphany Sunday 1726 was written by the Darmstadt poet Georg Christian Lehms. It is conceived as a dialog between Jesus and the Faithful Soul. Bach titled his cantata Concerto in Dialogo and accordingly, it is structured as a dialog between soprano and bass, set in the voice types that were - not only for Bach - typically used for the soul (soprano) and Jesus (bass). The cantata is based on the narrative of the twelve-year-old boy Jesus in the temple; however, in spite of closely following the gospel text, it is interpreted more widely here: it is through Jesus that the believer finds God's dwelling. Bach creates a great arch from the opening aria full of yearning and searching through to the joyful duet Nun verschwinden alle Plagen. He himself added the four-part closing chorale to the text model, thus communicating the sense of joyous certainty to the congregation of believers. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3103200.
