The structure of the composition is highly advanced and Bach uses counterpoint masterfully. Bach uses the chorale melody to provide a vocal line over rich harmonic progressions. The vocal line is layered over a series of organ chords, which serve as an accompaniment. The combination of both melodic and harmonic elements gives the piece great depth and complexity. By providing a powerful vocal component to the composition Bach also creates an emotional connection with the listener. The beauty of Bach's composition lies in its ability to transport the listener to a spiritual realm that is only achieved through contemplation and devotion. Bach also incorporates more traditional elements of musical composition such as tempo and dynamic contrast. This adds a great amount of variety and creates a variety that holds the listener's interest throughout the piece. There is no doubt that "Christe, du Lamm Gottes, BWV 619" is one of Bach's greatest masterpieces and it is a timeless musical tribute to God.
