Cantata I believe.

A composition for an organ that incorporates a hymn tune is known as a chorale prelude.
soprano
Typically, Bach's cantatas are each based on a chorale tune. In some of them the tune reappears in different guises in each movement, sometimes in a fugue, sometimes as a ground-bass, sometimes as a simple variation. In others it only reappears at the end of the cantata, but the melodies of the other movements are based in some way, either melodically or rhythmically, on the chorale-tune.
