Abstract
This article discusses Philipp Nicolai's chorale Wie schon leuchtet der Morgenstern, and Bach's cantata BWV 1, which bears the same name and uses this chorale as the basis for a new musical work. The author's chief interests are the words and melody of the chorale in both works, and the similarities in their liturgical use.
