Section Listing

  1. Chorus: Sehet, welch eine Liebe. A motet-style movement rare for Bach's cantatas. This, combined with the colla parte instrumentation lend the movement a "sever, archaic character"1. e minor
  2. Choral: Das gat er alles uns getan. A plain chorale setting. G Major
  3. Recitativo (Alto): Geh, Welt! Secco recitative. C Major-D Major
  4. Choral: Was frag ich nach der Welt. A plain chorale setting. D Major
  5. Aria (Soprano): Was die Welt. Full of vigorous figuration, a "fun" aria. b minor
  6. Recitativo (Bass): Der Himmel bleibet mir gewiß. Secco recitative. G Major
  7. Aria (Alto): Von der Welt verlang ich nichts. Alto and oboe d'amore, in the same register, lend this a slower dance feel. G Major
  8. Choral: Gute Nacht, o Wesen. A plain chorale setting. e minor
