Section Listing

Prima parte:

  1. Chorus: Die Elenden sollen essen. A slow-fast French Overture-like movement. e minor
  2. Recitativo (Bass): Was hilft des Purpurs Majestät. Recitative with string accompaniment. b minor-e minor
  3. Aria (Tenor): Mein Jesus soll mein alles sein. Aria with strings and oboes. The tenor entry is on a "decidedly vocal 'motto'"1. Also, this could perhaps be a polonaise. G Major
  4. Recitativo (Tenor): Gott stürzet und erhöhet. Secco recitative. a minor-C Major
  5. Aria (Soprano): Ich nehme mein Leiden. A "minuet"-like aria with obbligato oboe d'amore. a minor
  6. Recitativo (Soprano): Indes schenkt Gott ein gut Gewissen. Secco recitative. G Major
  7. Choral: Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan. A more generous chorale setting than usual, with much independent writing. G Major

Seconda parte:

  1. Sinfonia. A sinfonia for trumpet and strings. However, the composition is really just a chorale arrangement again. G Major
  2. Recitativo (Alto): Nur eines kränkt. Recitative with string accompaniment. e minor-G Major
  3. Aria (Alto): Jesus macht mich geistlich reich. A "quasi-passepied"1. The obbligato here is unison violins. e minor
  4. Recitativo (Bass): Wer nur in Jesu bleibt. Secco recitative. D Major-C Major
  5. Aria (Bass): Mein Herze glaubt und liebt. The trumpet here has a juicy concertante part in the final aria. C Major
  6. Recitativo (Tenor): O Armut, der kein Reichtum gleicht! Secco recitative. a minor-G Major
  7. Choral: Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan. A more generous chorale setting than usual, with much independent writing. G Major
