O Jesus Christ My Life and Light-Although designated a Cantata this piece for SATB choir is more in the style of a motet. It is composed (and is still suitable) to be played at a funeral the text by Martin Behm being appropriate to this situation. Bach's original orchestration for the accompaniment - two Litui (high horns) Cornetto and three Trombones - is here arranged for Organ or Piano by Ifor Jones who also (with J. M. Stein) translated the text.
