Section Listing
n.b. Each verse begins with "Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan", thus the incipits are actually the second lines.
- Versus 1 Chorale: Es bleibt gerecht sein Wille. An expanded version of BWV 99/i. G Major
- Versus 2 Duetto (Alto, Tenor): Er wird mich nicht betrügen. A continuo duet resplendent in imitation. D Major
- Versus 3 Aria (Soprano): Er wird mich wohl bedenken. The flute has a fast, virtuosic solo part. The 6/8 meter of the movement gives it a dance-like feel. b minor
- Versus 4 Aria (Bass): Er ist mein Licht, mein Leben. A "cheerful major key, dance-like syncopations...characterize this particularly accessible aria."1 G Major
- Versus 5 Aria (Alto): Muß ich den Kelch gleich schmecken. The obbligato oboe tries to capture the "bitterness" of the text, but the lilting 12/8 ends up making the dance come to the fore. e minor
- Versus 6 Chorale: Darbei will ich verbleiben. See BWV 75/vii (also xiv). G Major
