Misc. Comments
Section Listing
Pars 1:
- Coro: Wachet! betet! betet! wachet! The solo trumpet here takes a leading part, either doubling, or as a soloist. The joyful character of this movement is expressed through the repetition of both notes and words. C Major
- Recitativo (Bass): Erschrecket, ihr verstockten Sünder! A recitative with the accompaniment of the entire orchestra. F Major-a minor
- Aria (Alto): Wenn kömmt der Tag, an dem wir ziehen. A continuo aria; in 1723, the organ played this part, but in 1731, only the cello. a minor
- Recitativo (Tenor): Auch bei dem himmlischen Verlangen. Secco recitative. d minor-b minor
- Aria (Soprano): Laßt der Spötter Zungen schmähen. Terraced dynamics are created orchestrationally here, an unusual and notable effect in Bach. The first violin here has an unusually virtuosic part. e minor
- Recitativo (Tenor): Jedoch bei dem unaritgen Geschlechte. Secco recitative. D Major-G Major
- Choral: Freu dich sehr, o meine Seele. A plain chorale setting. G Major
Pars 2:
- Aria (Tenor): Hebt euer Haupt empor. The strings now separate out again. Imitation is thin on the ground here, but the harmony is always full instead. G Major
- Recitativo (Bass): Ach, soll nicht dieser große Tag. A recitative again with trumpet and strings. e minor-C Major
- Aria (Bass): Seligster Erquickungstag. The entire corpus of instruments is here required again. However, the aria starts in a wonderfully serene fashion with continuo only. Then, the middle section, brings down the entire orchestra upon us. C Major
- Choral: Nicht nach Welt, nach Himmel nicht. A plain chorale setting. C Major
