Historical context

Bach's music has always been intended to enlighten the spirit and honor God. Even today his music can inspire us and spark a sense of awe. The music from the 19th century didn't try to inspire God in the listener but rather to make them feel good. The coupling of the two seems appropriate for winter where we have time to think but also have a longing for better days.
