If you're referring to No.11, "Nun seid ihr wohl gerochen", the final number of Cantata No. 6 (and of the whole oratorio), yes indeed, underneath the trumpet solo (which is just about the hardest trumpet solo in all the literature), the chorus sings a version of "Von Himmel hoch."But this chorale can be heard in several other numbers throughout the work, beginning with No.8, "Schaut hin, dort liegt im finstern Stall"--it was the Bach household's favorite Christmas tune, and Bach delighted in setting it in various ways throughout his career.
One of my favorites in this category are the Canonic Variations for organ on Von Himmel hoch, BWV 769.
