JS Bach

Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied (Sing a new song to the Lord), BWV 190
Schau, lieber Gott, wie meine Feind (See, dear God, how my enemies), BWV 153
Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen (They will all come forth out of Sheba), BWV 65
Mein liebster Jesus ist verloren (My dearest Jesus is lost), BWV 154
Dazu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes (For this the Son of God appeared), BWV 40

Hot off the heels of his first Christmas in Leipzig, Bach presents us with a vibrant set of Cantatas for the New Year and Epiphany. Cantata 190 is a paean heralding the New Year, and Cantata 153 takes the dramatic story of Herod and the Massacre of the Innocents as its inspiration. Epiphany is ushered in as a pair of horns brings the wise men with their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh in Cantata 65.
