Plate BA 5075. 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. [Versus 1 Chorale]: Sei Lob und Ehr' dem höchsten Gut. The chorale is sung plain to a lively instrumental accompaniment, perpetuum mobile. The additional colours of flutes lend this movement a relaxed air.
2. Versus 2 Recitativo (Bass): Es danken dir die Himmelsheer. Secco recitative.
3. Versus 3 [Aria] (Tenor): Was unser Gott geschaffen hat. Two oboes d'amore complement the tenor's sorrowful line to make this a sharp contrast from the previous two movements
4. Versus 4 Choraliter: Ich rief dem Herrn in meiner Not. A plain chorale setting.
5. Versus 5 Recitativo (Alto): Der Herr ist noch und nimmer nicht. Recitative with string accompaniment-arioso with continuo only.
6. Versus 6 [Aria] (Bass): Wenn Trost und Hülf ermangeln muß. Solo violin, but not virtuosic. This bass aria contains one of Bach's most declamatory instrumental lines, as well as a highly melodic bass line.
7. Versus 7 [Aria] (Alto): Ich will dich all mein Leben lang. Flutes and strings play in a relaxed dance-like aria.
8. Versus 8 Recitativo (Tenor): Ihr, die ihr Christi Namen nennt. Secco recitative.
9. Versus 9 Chorale: So kommet vor sein Angesicht. A reprise of the first movement with a new text.
