Section Listing

  1. [Chorale + Recitative (Tenor)]: Christus, der ist mein Leben. Beginning with "an intimate melody of yearning for death,"1 the movement is an intense reflection of the text. The chorus then lapses into secco recitative. G Major
  2. Recitativo (Soprano): Nun, falsche Welt! Secco recitative. d minor-b minor
  3. Chorale (Soprano): Valet will ich dir geben. The soprano sings the plain chorale melody over continuo alone at first, and then oboes d'amore. D Major
  4. Recitativo (Tenor): Ach könnte mir doch bald so wohl geschehn. Secco recitative. b minor-A Major
  5. Aria (Tenor): Ach, schlage doch bald, selge Stunde. For obbligato oboe d'amore and pizzicato strings. The voice and the oboe are highly contrasted in nature. D Major
  6. Recitativo (Bass): Denn ich weiß dies. Secco recitative/ b minor-G Major
  7. Choral: Weil du vom Tod erstanden bist. A plain chorale setting, with an expressive first violin part. G Major
