in this segment, Rilling finishes talking about he opening chorus "Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele"
then covers the motifs in the tenor aria "Ermuntre dich: dein Heiland klopft" (that funny "klopft" movtif!), and fine bit of singing by tenor Adelbert Kraus.

Helmuth Rilling and the Oregon Bach Festival Chorus and Orchestra
I had the privilege of being in the chorus that demonstrated during one of his lectures. The man is pure genius.
