URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland). In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States.

Commentary on the movements

Parte prima:

  1. Chorus: Es ist dir gesagt, Mensch, was gut ist. A monothematic monolith of choral composition in several parts symmetrically organised. E major
  2. Recitativo (Tenor): Der Höchste läßt mich seinen Willen wissen. Secco recitative. B major-G♯ minor
  3. Aria (Tenor): Weiß ich Gottes Rechte. A da capo aria missing the reprise with clear-cut rhythms and phrases that add a dance flavor. C♯ minor

Parte seconda:

  1. Arioso (Bass): Es werden viele zu mir sagen an jenem Tage. The centrepiece of the work. The Bass has an impressive virtuosic part here, accompanied by rich strings. A major
  2. Aria (Alto): Wer Gott bekennt. Obbligato flute gives a more welcoming feel to the text, combined with the alto voice's smooth lines in comparison to the immense leaps of the previous movement. F♯ minor
  3. Recitativo (Alto): So wird denn Herz und mund. Secco recitative. E major
  4. Choral: Gib, daß ich tu mit fleiß. A plain chorale setting. E major
