	Following the straightforward Chorale presentation, we suddenly have Bach at his most mysterious, the chorale is in the alto voice (English Horn), the Bassoon is constantly descending, the other two voices( Flute and another Bassoon) form an arabesque of unusual quiet joy. The words dwell on the mystery of Christ's incarnation, and its farflung consequences. A second Flute and third Bassoon round out the ending.
	Story Behind the Song Part of a series of transcriptions for sampled instruments of Bach's Liturgical Year. Lyrics German: Christum wir sollen loben schon, Der reinem Magd Marien Sohn, So weit die liebe Sonne leucht Und an aller Welt Ende reicht. English: Now praise we Christ, the Holy one, The spotless virgin Mary's Son, Far as the blessed sun doth shine, E'en to the world's remote confine.
