Section Listing

  1. Versus I [Chorale]: Der Herr ist mein getreuer Hirt. Starting, unusually, with two solo horns, this movement is a full-textured, sonorous opening movement of the standard chorale-cantata type. The chorale (=Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr) is unusually prevalent, appearing in the continuo as early as measure 2. G Major
  2. Versus II Aria (Alto): Zum reinen Wasser er mich weist. An aria in AA' form, with obbligato oboe d'amore representing the "pure water" of the text. e minor
  3. Versus III Recitativo (Bass):Und ob ich wandert im finstern Tal. A walking bass introduces the opening section of this recitative, more like an aria than anything else. The second half of the movement is a plain recitative with string accompaniment. C Major-G Major
  4. Versus IV [Duetto] (Soprano, Tenor): Du bereitest für mir einen Tisch. A movement full of quirky descending ornaments in all the parts, giving a vivacity to this movement that led Dürr to calll this a "joyous dance...a bourrée."1 D Major
  5. Versus V [Chorale]: Gutes und die Barmherzigkeit. A plain chorale setting. G Major
