Commentary on the movements

  1. Chorale: Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn. The longest movement by far. The opening ritornello is a beautiful alternation of oboes d'amore (in their favorite key) and strings. The themes are not derived from the chorale this time.
  2. Recitativo (Bass): Es kann mir fehlen nimmermehr! A strange movement, blending the bass singing the chorale with arioso-recitative passages. The continuo players get plenty of work in this movement.
  3. Aria (Tenor): Seht, seht! wie reißt, wie bricht, wie fällt. An animated, "passionate" aria with strings1. Overall, the "jumpy" nature of the tenor line adds to the nervous energy.
  4. Choral (Alto): Zudem ist Weisheit und Verstand. The alto now gets to sing the chorale, with two oboes d'amore to lead the way. F minor)
  5. Recitativo (Tenor): Wir wollen nun nicht länger zagen. Secco recitative.
  6. Aria (Bass): Das Brausen/Stürmen von den rauhen Winden. A continuo aria, also with a "busy" continuo part. In contrast to the tenor aria, long melismatic runs dominate the movement.
  7. Recitativo (SATB): Ei nun, mein Gott, so fall ich. Akin to the second movement, the entire soloistic ensemble delivers verses of the chorale as a unit, while each in turn gives a recitative interjection.
  8. Aria (Soprano): Meinem Hirten belieb ich treu. For an inspired instrumentation of oboe d'amore and plucked cellos and basses (no organ, presumably no harpsichord). The lilt of this movement gives it a dancing quality.
  9. Choral: Soll ich denn auch des Todes weg. A plain chorale setting.
