notes that "the sweeping exhilaration of this movement is impossible to describe in words". Bach reused the movement as the opening movement of his Christmas Oratorio, "Jauchzet, frohlocket" (Shout for joy, exult). The voices imitate the sound of timpani and trumpets even with the new text. 2 Irene is the first to address the dedicatee. The tenor recitative, "" (This is the day, when everyone can be happy), conveys imagery. 3 Bellona sings an aria, "" (Blow the well-handled flutes). Matching the text, the soprano is accompanied by two obbligato flutes. The aria is in three parts, with the third part similar to the first but on different text. 4 The soprano recitative, "" (My clashing metal), represents the "clashing of arms" and the battlefield, related to the goddess of war. 5 Pallas refers to the muses in an alto aria, (Virtuous Muses! My followers!). It is the only movement in a minor key, accompanied by an obbligato oboe d'amore. Bach reused the music, transposed for a tenor, in Und es waren Hirten in derselben Gegend, Part II of his Christmas Oratorio, as the aria "Frohe Hirten, eilt, ach eilet", with an obbligato flute, No. 15, in which the shepherds are called to rush to the manger. 6 The alto recitative, "" (Our Queen of the land!), is accompanied by strings playing chords. 7 Fama is the last character to appear, singing in a bass da capo aria, "" (Crown and trophy of royal ladies). The voice is complemented by a majestic obbligato trumpet line that underlines the "triumph, dignity and splendor" of the queen. The text focuses on the dual themes of fame and virtue. In this aria, the queen is addressed directly for the first time, "Königin! Mit deinem Namen füll ich diesen Kreis der Welt" (Queen! With your name I flood the entire world). The fanfares of the trumpet are used to illustrate her royal appearance. In his Christmas Oratorio, Bach used the music in the aria "Großer Herr und starker König" (No. 8). 8 The bass recitative, "" (Thus throughout the whole round earth), is accompanied by woodwinds. 9 The cantata is closed with the chorus "" (Bloom, you Saxon lindens, like cedars), a dance-like chorus. Three voices enter successively with parts of the text, first the tenor, the only voice without an aria, then the soprano followed by the alto. All voices repeat the text
