In the Chorale Prelude on ‘Komm heiliger Geist, Herre Gott’, BuxWV200 a subtly ornamented version of the Whitsuntide melody appears in the highest voice, and for the most part the lower ones provide an elegant accompaniment; but at bar 28 they briefly take the stage with a fugal exposition which introduces the next entry, and joy at the descent of the Holy Spirit is signified by the florid coda.
