Dies sind die heil'gen zehn Gebot (Chorale)|{{NoCo|Chorals of the German Organ Mass (Clavier Übung III)

The words of this German chorale set forth the Ten Commandments, as given by God through Moses on Mount Sinai. Bach's setting for SATB voices is taken from his Clavier-Übung III, a monumental collection exploring the doctrine of the catechism through organ chorales and related pieces. While the collection is primarily for organ, this movement stands as a powerful vocal setting of the commandments, offering a profound theological reflection on the divine law. It serves as a cornerstone of Bach's exploration of Lutheran catechismal texts, bringing spiritual and intellectual depth to this fundamental aspect of Christian teaching.
