Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme ('Awake, calls the voice to us'), [1] BWV 140, also known as Sleepers Awake, is a church cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, regarded as one of his most mature and popular sacred cantatas. He composed the chorale cantata in Leipzig for the 27th Sunday after Trinity and first performed it on 25 November 1731.
Johann Sebastian Bach based his chorale cantata Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140, on the hymn [12] and derived one of the Schübler Chorales, BWV 645, from the cantata's central movement.

The first movement is an extended chorale fantasia, the second develops motifs from the first movement, the third includes a quotation of his fathers's closing choral chorale from his cantata Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140.
