Section Listing

  1. [Chorale]: Was mein Gott will, das gscheh allzeit. An energetic movement full of running semiquaver passages in the violins and rhythmic dactyls in the oboes. This instrumental texture accompanies a heterophonic vocal texture of the Soprano cantus firmus against the chorale in shorter note values. a minor
  2. Aria (Bass): Entsetze dich, mein Herze, nicht. A continuo aria of much calmer spirit than the previous movement. The opening sigh-motive recurs continuously through the entire movement. e minor
  3. Recitativo (Alto): O Törichter! der sich von Gott entzieht. Seco recitative. b minor
  4. Aria [Duetto] (Alto, Tenor): So geh ich mit beherzten Schritten. "A sonorous, dance-like duet"1, for strings, voices, and continuo. The "walking" of the text is fully exhibited in the relaxed motion of the baseline. G Major
  5. Recitativo (Soprano): Drum wenn der Tod zuletzt den Geist. Recitative with two oboes. F Major-a minor
  6. Chorale: Noch eins, Herr, will ich bitten dich. A plain chorale setting. a minor
