'''{{lang|de|Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen}}''' (They will all come forth out of Sheba),<ref name="Dellal" /> '''{{abbr|BWV|Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (catalogue of Bach's works)}}{{nbsp}}65''', is a [[Bach cantata|church cantata]] by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]]. He composed it in 1724 in [[Leipzig]] for [[Epiphany (holiday)|Epiphany]] and first performed it on 6 January 1724 as part of his [[Bach's first cantata cycle|first cantata cycle]].
Bach wrote the cantata to conclude his first Christmas season as ''[[Thomaskantor]]'' in Leipzig which had been celebrated with five cantatas, four of them new compositions, the [[Magnificat in E-flat major, BWV 243a|Magnificat]] and a new [[Sanctus (Bach)#Separate Sanctus settings, BWV 237–240|Sanctus]]. The text by an anonymous author, who possibly supplied texts of two of the [[Christmas cantata]]s as well, combines the prescribed readings for the feast day, the prophecy from the [[Book of Isaiah]] and the gospel of Matthew about the [[Biblical Magi|Wise Men from the East]]. The [[Libretto|librett]]ist begins with a quotation from the prophecy, comments it by a stanza of the early anonymous [[Christmas carol]] "{{lang|de|Ein Kind geborn zu Bethlehem|italic=no}}", says in a sequence of [[recitative]]s and [[aria]]s that the prophecy was fulfilled in Bethlehem, concluding that the Christian should bring his heart as a gift. The cantata ends with a [[chorale]], stanza 10 of [[Paul Gerhardt]]'s [[hymn]] "{{lang|de|[[Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn]]|italic=no}}".
Bach festively scored the seven-[[Movement (music)|movement]] cantata, for two vocal soloists ([[tenor]]  and [[Bass (voice type)|bass]]), a [[SATB|four-part choir]] and a [[Baroque instruments|Baroque instrumental]] ensemble of two horns, two recorders, two oboes da caccia, strings and basso continuo. All recitatives are secco, but the full orchestra plays for the opening chorus, the last aria and the closing chorale.

== History and words ==
Bach wrote the cantata in 1724, in his first year as ''[[Thomaskantor]]'' (director of church music) in [[Leipzig]], to conclude his first [[Christmastide|Christmas season]] on the [[List of church cantatas by liturgical occasion#Epiphany (6 January)|Feast of Epiphany]]. For the celebrations on three days of Christmas, New Year's Day and the following Sunday, he had performed five cantatas, four of them new compositions, the Magnificat and a new [[Sanctus (Bach)#Separate Sanctus settings, BWV 237–240|Sanctus]] in [[D major]]:<ref name="Dürr" /><ref name="Wolff" />

The prescribed readings for the feast day were taken from the [[Book of Isaiah]], the heathen will convert ({{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Isaiah|chapter=60|verse=1|range=–6}}), and from the [[Gospel of Matthew]], the [[Biblical Magi|Wise Men from the East]] bringing gifts of [[gold]], [[myrrh]] and [[frankincense]] to the newborn Jesus ({{Sourcetext|source=Bible|version=King James|book=Matthew|chapter=2|verse=1|range=–12}}). The unknown poet of the cantata text may be the same as for BWV 40 and BWV 64 for the Second and Third Day of Christmas,<ref name="Dürr" /> a person "theologically competent and poetically skilfull (sic)", as the Bach scholar [[Klaus Hofmann]] writes.<ref name="Hofmann" /> The [[Libretto|librett]]ist begins with the final verse of the epistle reading, [[Isaiah]]'s prophecy "all they from [[Sheba]] shall come: they shall bring gold and incense". The poet juxtaposes the prediction by a [[chorale]], stanza 4 of the old anonymous [[Christmas carol]] "{{lang|de|{{ill|Ein Kind geborn zu Bethlehem|de}}|italic=no}}" ("{{lang|la|[[Puer natus in Bethlehem]]|italic=no}}", "A babe is born in Bethlehem", 1543),<ref name="chorale text" /> which describes the arrival of the "{{lang|de|Kön'ge aus Saba|italic=no}}" (Kings from Sheba), related to the epistle. The first [[recitative]] proclaims that the gospel is the fulfillment of the prophecy and concludes that it is the Christian's duty to bring his heart as a gift to Jesus. This idea is the theme of the following [[aria]]. The second recitative equates the gifts of the contemporary Christian to those of the kings: Faith to the gold, Prayer to the incense, and Patience to the myrrh. The last aria expresses that the devoted Christian offers his heart as a present. The cantata ends with a chorale. The text is not extant, but it is assumed to be stanza 10 of [[Paul Gerhardt]]'s [[hymn]] "{{lang|de|[[Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn]]|italic=no}}".<ref name="Dürr" /><ref name="chorale text 2" />
Bach first performed the cantata for Epiphany on 6 January 1724.<ref name="Wolff" /> In his ''Christmas Oratorio'' of 1734, Bach dedicated [[Christmas Oratorio#Part VI|Part VI]], {{lang|de|Herr, wenn die stolzen Feinde schnauben}}, to the topic and the occasion and first performed it on 6 January 1735.<ref name="Bossuyt" />
== Music ==
=== Structure and scoring ===
Bach structured the cantata in seven [[Movement (music)|movement]]s. The opening chorus is followed by a chorale, then the two soloists sing a sequence of [[recitative]] and [[aria]] each, and work closes with a chorale. Bach scored the cantata for two vocal soloists ([[tenor]] (T) and [[Bass (voice type)|bass]] (B)), a [[SATB|four-part choir]] and a festive [[Baroque instruments|Baroque instrumental]] ensemble of two [[Natural horn|horns]] (Co), two [[recorder (musical instrument)|recorders]] (Fl), two [[oboe da caccia|oboes da caccia]] (Oc), two [[violin]]s (Vl), [[viola]] (Va), and [[basso continuo]].<ref name="Hofmann" /><ref name="Bischof" /> Bach employed a pair of horns before in his [[Christmas cantata]] {{lang|de|Darzu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes}}, BWV 40, and later in his cantata for Christmas 1724, {{lang|de|[[BWV 91|''Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ'', BWV 91]] |italic=unset}}, and later in [[Christmas Oratorio#Part IV|Part IV]] of his ''Christmas Oratorio''.<ref name="Dürr" /> He wrote the title as "J. J. Festo Epiphan: Concerto. à 2 Core du Chasse. 2 Hautb: da Caccia. / due Fiauti 2 Violini è Viola con 4 Voci", which means: "Jesus help (Jesu Juva – a pre-fixed prayer to most of Bach's compositions). Feast of the Epiphany: concerto for 2 hunting horns. 2 oboes da caccia / two recorders 2 violins and viola with 4 voices."<ref name="NBA" />
The following table of movements gives the scoring according to the [[Neue Bach-Ausgabe]].<ref name="Bischof" /> The [[Key (music)|keys]] and [[time signature]]s are taken from the book on all the Bach cantatas by the Bach scholar [[Alfred Dürr]], using the symbol for [[common time]] (4/4).<ref name="Dürr" /> The continuo, playing throughout, is not shown.

=== Movements ===
Bach uses scoring and especially instrumentation to illustrate the contrast between poverty and abundance. While all recitatives are secco, and the strings are silent for the first aria which is supported only by the oboes da caccia in low register, a festive orchestra with three kinds of wind instruments and strings accompanies not only, as usual, the opening chorus and the closing chorale, but also the penultimate movement, a tenor aria expressing how the believer gives his heart as a present. Hofmann notes that Bach "combines high art with the folk style".<ref name="Hofmann" />
==== 1 ====
The opening chorus, "{{lang|de|Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen|italic=no}}" (They will all come forth out of Sheba),<ref name="Dellal" /> depicts, that "{{lang|de|alle}}" (all), not just the wise men, gather and move to adore. Horn signals call first and prevail throughout the movement. [[Canon (music)|Canon]]ical and [[Imitation (music)|imitative]] developments depict the growing of a crowd.<ref name="NBA" /><ref name="Robins" /> The central section is an extended [[fugue|choral fugue]], framed by two sections with the voices embedded in a repeat of the instrumental introduction.<ref name="Mincham" /><ref name="Dürr" /> [[John Eliot Gardiner]] remarked in connection with his [[Monteverdi Choir#Bach Cantata Pilgrimage|Bach Cantata Pilgrimage]] that the instrumentation resembles Near Eastern music, the recorders representing "the high pitches often associated with oriental music and the oboes da caccia (in tenor register) to evoke the [[shawm]]-like double-reed instruments ([[Kawala|salamiya]] and [[zurna]]) of the Near East".<ref name="Gardiner" />
==== 2 ====
[[File:Puer natus - Ein Kind geborn (1553).jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|First print of "{{lang|la|Puer natus in Bethlehem|italic=no}} – {{lang|de|Ein Kind geborn zu Bethlehem|italic=no}}", published by {{ill|Lucas Lossius|de}} in Nürnberg in 1553]]
The same idea is rendered in a stanza from the Christmas carol, "{{lang|de|Die Kön'ge aus Saba kamen dar|italic=no}}" (The kings came out of Sheba),<ref name="Dellal" /> telling of the (unknown number of) Kings from Sheba as mentioned by Isaiah. Its melody,<ref name="chorale melody" /> in triple time, is set for four parts.<ref name="Dürr" />
==== 3 ====
The first recitative, "{{lang|de|Was dort Jesaias vorhergesehn, das ist zu Bethlehem geschehn.|italic=no}}" (What Isaiah prophesied there has happened in Bethlehem.),<ref name="Dellal" /> applies the situation to the individual Christian, who has nothing to offer as a gift but his heart, explained in an [[arioso]] ending.<ref name="Dürr" /> The musicologist Julian Mincham notes unexpected harmonies when the stable of Bethlehem is mentioned, as if to illustrate the "lowliness of that birthplace".<ref name="Mincham" />
==== 4 ====
The first aria, "{{lang|de|Gold aus Ophir ist zu schlecht|italic=no}}" (Gold from Ophir is too meager),<ref name="Dellal" /> is accompanied by the oboes da caccia, whose low register together with the bass voice conveys the humility expressed in the words. The instruments keep repeating the first [[Motif (music)|motif]], recalling the initial idea that gold is not good enough.<ref name="Dürr" />
==== 5 ====
The tenor recitative, "{{lang|de|Verschmähe nicht, du, meiner Seele Licht, mein Herz|italic=no}}" (Do not scorn, o You the light of my soul, my heart),<ref name="Dellal" /> begins with a plea, expressed in a line descending through a [[Ninth (music)|ninth]].<ref name="Mincham" /> It ends on the notion "{{lang|de|des größten Reichtums Überfluß mir dermaleinst im Himmel werden}}" (the abundance of the greatest wealth must some day be mine in Heaven).<ref name="Dellal" />
==== 6 ====
To show the abundance, the dance-like aria, "{{lang|de|Nimm mich dir zu eigen hin|italic=no}}" (Take me to Yourself as Your own),<ref name="Dellal" /> is accompanied by all the wind instruments, playing concertante and together. Instead of a conventional [[da capo aria]], Bach creates a [[bar form]] by repeating the text of the second idea on new musical material.<ref name="Dürr" /> A long ritornello of 32 measures "contains an almost unprecedented variety of instrumental colouring", as Mincham writes.<ref name="Mincham" />
==== 7 ====
The closing chorale, "{{lang|de|Ei nun, mein Gott, so fall ich dir getrost in deine Hände.|italic=no}}" (Ah! now, then, my God, I fall confidently into Your hands.),<ref name="Dürr" /> is sung on the melody of "{{lang|de|[[Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit]]|italic=no}}",<ref name="chorale melody 2" /> which Bach used frequently later, as the base for his [[Chorale cantata (Bach)|chorale cantata]] [[BWV 111]] and [[St Matthew Passion structure#25#Chorales|movement 25]] of his ''[[St Matthew Passion]]''.<ref name="Dürr" /><ref name="Gardiner" />
