This is the first movement of the cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland.
“After the brief introduction by the oboes, the sudden “rise to flight“ by the accompanying strings in the third bar is one of those many incredibly inspired moments that puts Bach a step above from most of the best composers ever. It’s like you are catapulted to heaven in a single jump“ (Victor Manteca)
Headphones work very well with this.
