(Alone to thee, Lord Jesus Christ) for alto, tenor and bass, vocal ensemble, oboe I+II, bassoon, strings and continuo.

The chorale cantata “Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ” (Alone to thee, Lord Jesus Christ), first performed on 3 September 1723, could – in analogy to a work by the Leipzig composer Johannes Weyrauch (1897–1977) – also be described as a “cantata of love”. Indeed, while it addresses justification by faith, the work’s musical and textual focus is primarily on the enlightening comparison of earthly and heavenly mercy and the exemplum of God’s burning love.
