Section Listing

  1. [Chorale]: Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin. A gentle 12/8 chorus in "an extremely dense, highly expressive texture"1 instrumentally, and a typical imitative choral structure below the chorale as cantus firmus. e minor
  2. Aria (Alto): Ich will auch mit gebrochnen Augen. Flute and Oboe d'amore again work in imitation, but also in homophony (thirds) over a "tranquil" continuo part. The highly expressive material of this movement, richly ornamented, leads to conjecture that "and expressive interpretation of this movement lay particularly close to the composer's heart."1 b minor
  3. Recitativo (Bass): O Wunder, daß ein Herz. Secco recitative alternating with chorale. a minor-b minor
  4. Aria Duetto (Tenor, Bass): Ein unbegreiflich Licht erfüllt. Two violins in playful imitation play a concertante counterpoint to this duet. G Major
  5. Recitativo (Alto): O unerschöpfter Schatz der Güte. Secco recitative. e minor
  6. Choral: Er ist das Heil und selig Licht. A plain chorale setting. e minor
