The 1st Sunday after Trinity marked the beginning of the school year in Leipzig and thus for the Thomascantor the start of a new annual cantata cycle – completely breaking with the traditions of the time. This also explains the large-scale opening chorus of the cantata Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot (Give the hungry ones Thy bread) written for the 1st Sunday after Trinity in 1726, whose orchestral accompaniment is entirely characterized by a sense of "breaking": Punctuated chords wander through the voices. In complete contrast to the opening chorus, the rest of the cantata adopts a chamber-music style. All arias dispense with the string tutti; the central and most important of these, "Wohlzutun und mitzuteilen vergesset nicht" (Do thou good and help thy neighbour), is even composed as a simple continuo aria.
