Johann Sebastian Bach - Chorus 63b - Wahrlich, dieser ist Gottes Sohn gewesen

Among these works are the Ascension Cantata and the Christmas Oratorio, the latter consisting of six cantatas. The St. John Passion and the St. Matthew Passion also were written in Leipzig, as was the epic Mass in B Minor. Almost every part of this work offers examples of Bach's ability to merge illustrative musical figures with colorful effects. This excerpt from the passage "Wahrlich, dieser ist Gottes Sohn gewesen" (Truly This Was the Son of God) is from one of the most beautiful choral segments in the oratorio.
