J.S. Bach
Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bahn, BWV 132
Concerto in D Minor after Vivaldi, BWV 596: Marvin Mills, organist

Written for the 4th Sunday in Advent, this cantata contains elaborate solo writing for each of the soloists and sets a text by the Weimar Court poet, Solomo Franck who was a frequent collaborator with Bach during that time. The final chorale is missing from the original manuscript and another setting taken from Cantata 164 seems a perfect match.
