“wachet auf” (sleeper’s awake) by j. s. bach is an example of a chorale from a baroque cantata. “hallelujah chorus” from handel’s messiah is an example of a chorale from a baroque oratorio. compare the two chorales. which is exuberant and which is statelier?

Bach's "Wachet Auf" is commonly performed during the season of Advent, when many Christian churches observe a time of expectancy while awaiting Christmas.
