Misc. Comments
For the 3rd Sunday after Epiphany.
Commentary on the movements
- [Chorale]: Was mein Gott will, das gscheh allzeit. An energetic movement full of running semiquaver passages in the violins and rhythmic dactyls in the oboes.
This instrumental texture accompanies a heterophonic vocal texture of the Soprano cantus firmus against the chorale in shorter note values. - Aria (Bass): Entsetze dich, mein Herze, nicht. A continuo aria of much calmer spirit than the previous movement. The opening sigh-motive recurs continuously through the entire movement.
- Recitativo (Alto): O Törichter! der sich von Gott entzieht. Secco recitative.
- Aria [Duetto] (Alto, Tenor): So geh ich mit beherzten Schritten. "A sonorous, dance-like duet"1, for strings, voices, and continuo. The "walking" of the text is fully exhibited in the relaxed motion of the baseline.
- Recitativo (Soprano): Drum wenn der Tod zuletzt den Geist. Recitative with two oboes.
- Chorale: Noch eins, Herr, will ich bitten dich. A plain chorale setting.
