Bach, Vol. 2 Chorales with independent orchestral accompaniment are found in the cantatas of the first Leipzig period, but not in those belonging to the period of the Christmas Oratorio. There are so many other things in this work that remind us of the earlier ones, that if the date were not so thoroughly vouched for we should be tempted to believe it had been written ten years previously. This is a unique characteristic of Bach the years have no effect on the artist in him. At fifty he can write as youthful music as at twenty-five.
