The cantata "Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam" (Our saviour Christ to Jordan came) BWV 7 for the feast of John the Baptist (24 June) in 1724 is the third cantata of the annual cycle of choral cantatas beginning on the 1st Sunday after Trinity (11 June 1724). It is based on Martin Luther’s song of the same name, which deals with baptism rather than the Gospel text (the birth of St. John and the Song of Zechariah). The powerful opening movement combines a cantus firmus motet with an effervescent violin concerto. The violin concerto – now with two violins – returns in the second aria, while the first continuo aria features repeated 32nd-note downward scales in the accompaniment, certainly intended to represent the pouring of the baptismal water. A two-part recitative (narrator: secco, Jesus’s words: accompagnato) and alto aria with string tutti lead to the four-part concluding chorale.
