BWV 19: Es erhub sich ein Streit

BWV 19: There Arose a War

Revelations 12:7-12
Matthew 18: 1-11

This cantata was written in 1726 in Leipzig for the feast of St. Michael, and first performed on the 29th of September of that same year.

 This one has a phenomenal opening reminiscent of thunder breaking forth into a rainstorm of voices.
