Join us for another play-along!

The tune Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme first appeared in 1599. The text for the tune is related to the parable of the Ten Virgins, Matthew 25: 1-13. Bach used the tune in a sacred cantata for the 27th Sunday after Trinity and was premiered on November 25, 1731. The parable of the Ten Virgins is often associated with Advent.
