Section Listing
- Sonata. In a proto-sonata form, with a first theme, second theme, development (combination) and reverse-order recapitulation. C Major
- Coro: Der Himmel lacht! Die Erde jubiliert. In a similar "jubilatory" mood. C Major
- Recitativo (Bass): Erwünschter Tag! Sei, Seele, wieder froh! Secco recitative. C major-e minor
- Aria (Bass): Fürst des Lebens! starker Streiter. A continuo aria, contrasting (along with Nos. 3 and 5) the full scoring of Nos. 1 and 2. The continuo and bass share the thematic material here. C Major
- Recitativo (Tenor): So stehe dann, du gottergebne Seele. Secco recitative. a minor-G Major
- Aria (Tenor): Adam muß in uns verwesen. A "more melodious"1 aria accompanied by strings. G Major
- Recitativo (Soprano): Weil dann das Haupt sein Glied. Secco recitative. e minor-C Major
- Aria (Soprano): Letzte Stunde, brich herein. Interpolated in this aria is the chorale Wenn mein Stündlein vorhanden ist played by the strings. C Major
- Choral: So fahr ich hin zu Jesu Christ. The same melody is here used. A plain chorale setting. C Major
Version History
- Weimar: C Major, Chorton
- Weimar (later): Kammerton=E♭ Major. Required some revision because of ranges not lining up due to transposition.
- Leipzig, 1724: Due to these difficulties, all but Oboe I is omitted.
- Leipzig, 1731: Oboe d'amore added to overcome this difficulty.
