The pieces in this fourth concert in the Anno Sacri concert are closely linked in terms of their original function. Telemann's cantata was written for the second Sunday in Advent, Christen, ätzet diesen Tag for the first day of Christmas (25 December), and Dazu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes for the second day of Christmas (26 December). Of special interest is the Cantata No. 63 written in 1713, which was probably premiered in the Liebfrauenkirche in Halle as part of a solemn act of worship, and it seems that Bach was pleased with the piece, because he had it performed again in Leipzig ten years later.
