The part appears in the works St John Passion, St Matthew Passion, and the Christmas Oratorio, as well as the St Mark Passion and the Ascension Oratorio Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen, BWV 11. Some cantatas also contain recitatives of Bible quotations, assigned to the tenor voice.Bach was not the first to make use of this sort of tenor part. It exists (and is also called the Evangelist) in works by Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) (Weinachtshistorie, Matthäuspassion, Lukaspassion, Johannespassion).In contrast, the Vox Christi, Voice of Christ, is always the bass in Bach's works, including several cantatas. ?g. }
