Bach's way to accompany
'Leit in Praesepio' - lies in a manger
The artless version
Bach desintegrates the tune from both hands

A method to demonstrate
the uncomfortable place for the new born child
interlude
What sort of arpeggio is this
played on the claviatur from top to bottom
This is Bach's accompaniment of the text
'Und leuchtet wie die Sonne' - 'glows like the sun'
The arpeggio shows the shafts of sunlight
falling from heaven to earth
Right hand starting - left hand carrying on
right hand plays the tune of the chorale
into the shafts of sunlight
Playing the shafts of sunlight staccato
it is twinkling sunlight
