That makes Bach's music and what he meant us to hear yet more understandable to us. This Lituus gives a beautiful more breakable sound due to its wooden mantle than modern metal brass instruments. That quality lends extra sentiment to the cantata. Also it would have been a wonderful sight for the eye to see these long litui being played in an orchestra of mostly short small instruments. That visual aspect would give an extra accent on the notes in that cantata. And that computer program is incredible! I like this!
