Section Listing

1. [Chorale]¹, Recitativo: Wer weiß, wie nahe mir mein Ende. An opening movement in a similar style to many of Bach's chorale cantatas,; however this chorus is interrupted thrice by recitatives (SAT). C minor
2. Recitativo (Tenor): Mein Leben hat kein ander Zeil. Secco recitative. G minor-C minor
3. Aria (Alto): Wilkommen! will ich sagen. A very strange combination of Oboe da Caccia, Concertante Harpsichord, and Alto voice makes for a completely unblended texture made beautiful by a very "accessible" melody¹. E♭ major
4. Recitativo (Soprano): Ach, wer doch schon im Himmel wär! Recitative accompanied with strings, mostly in chords. C minor
5. Aria (Bass): Gute Nacht, du Weltgetummel! No obbligato instruments here; however, the musical material illustrates the dichotomous nature of the text. G minor
6. Choral: Welt, ade! Ich bin dein mude. A plain chorale setting. B♭ major.
