Der Choral "Ach mein herzliebes Jesulein",der die Melodie "Vom Himmel hoch" verwendet,die mit festlich-fanfarenartigen Trompetenklängen ausgeschmückt wird,gehört zu den Höhepunkten in Bach´s Weihnachtsoratorium. Diese originalgetreue Transkription für Trompete und Orgel eignet sich bestens für Weihnachtskonzerte sowie als Vorspiel zum Choral "Vom Himmel hoch",z.b. in einem festlichen Weihnachtsgottesdienst.
