• Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam, BWV 7: Aria: Des Vaters Stimme liess sich horen (Tenor)

This intoxicating tenor aria conjures up the Trinity in countless ways: three voices, three sections, three beats to a bar, a triplet per beat, and a breathtaking vocal entry (0:38) in the shape of three quarter-notes (E A E)—Des Vaters Stimme ließ sich hören ("The Father's voice can be heard.") The melisma on getauft ("baptized") at 1:07 evokes the immersion at an infant's christening. Just as Schubert can often make a major key sound minor, Bach likes to liven up a minor key (here Am) with a rhythmic beat of aerial lightness. The assuredness of the tone reflects the theme of the piece, ohne Zweifel glauben ("to believe without doubt"), while its levity suggests the flight of a bird: Der Geist erschien im Bild der Tauben ("The Spirit appeared in the image of the dove").
