Leipzig, im Advent des Jahres 1734. Johann Sebastian Bach sitzt bibbernd in der Componierstube der Thomasschule. Es ist der kälteste Winter seit langem, so kalt, dass angeblich sogar die Vögel an den Ästen festfrieren. Der Komponist hat sich Großes für die feierlichen Weihnachts-Gottesdienste der beiden Leipziger Hauptkirchen, St. Thomas und St. Nikolai, vorgenommen.
