This motet for double choir, based on the well-known Christmas text of Isaiah 9, 5-6, is a sample from the motets by Johann Ludwig Bach, Kappellmeister of Meiningen, which are available from Carus as a complete edition. After a more homophonic first part with many dialogs, the second part follows with an alla breve fugue that expands to a double fugue to close out the work.
