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

  1. Aria (Tenor): Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen. The timbre of the oboe da caccia is prominent in this da cap aria, due to the fact that Bach, while starting the theme in the recorders, often brings the alto instrument to the fore. (D minor)
  2. Recitative (Alto): Mein liebster Gott lässt mich annoch. Recitative secco; standard except for a melisma on the word "flehen." (B♭ major)
  3. Chorale (Alto): Der Gott, der mir hat versprochen. The woodwind simply double the melody, while the strings have exuberant figuration surrounding the melody. (F major)
  4. Recitative (Soprano): Mein Kummer nimmet zu. "Plain but exceptionally graphic in text illustration" (1) (F major)
  5. Aria (Bass): Ächzen und erbärmlich Weinen. Harsh diminished intervals are plentiful in this vivid aria. However, the passages in quick sixteenth notes provide quite a contrast. (G minor)
  6. Chorale (Chorus): So sei nun, Seele, deine. A standard 4-part setting with all instruments doubling (B♭ Major)
