He composed it originally in Weimar in for Advent, BWV a, and expanded it in Leipzig in for the seventh Sunday after Trinity, where he first performed it on 11 July His lyrics contained movements 1, 3, 5, 8, 10 of the later work and a different closing chorale of Ludwig Helmbold.
Bach composed the music, BWV a, in in Weimar, where he first performed it on 13 December He added recitatives, changed the words of the arias slightly, replaced the closing chorale by verse 11 of the chorale "Es ist das Heil uns kommen her" of Paul Speratus, and added verse 12 of that chorale to close part 1 of the cantata. The prescribed readings for the Sunday are from the Epistle to the Romans, "the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life" Romans 6: The recitatives mention that by stressing terms as Hunger hunger and schmecket und sehet taste and see.
Section A treats the first line of the poem, section B lines 2 to 4.
Section A is a complex combination of instrumental and vocal composition. The instruments open with a sinfonia of 8 measures, followed by a short vocal Devise statement which is repeated by the orchestra, and only then a fugal development begins, the vocal parts sometimes embedded in material from the sinfonia. The first repeat of section A is shortened in the sinfonia, the second repeat starts with the fugal part right away.
In great contrast section B is set a cappella only accompanied by the continuo and partly homophonic.
The scoring of the four arias shows increasing complexity and also a rise from the lowest voice to the higher one, soprano and alto coming in only in the second part. The first aria is accompanied only by the continuo, the two next ones in a trio setting, and the final aria is a duet with orchestra. The four recitatives all end as an arioso.
