The cantata Liebster Gott, wenn wird ich sterben belongs in its original form BWV 8.1 to Bach's choral cantata cycle of 1724/25 and was first performed on the 16th Sunday after Trinity (September 24, 1724). The opening chorus is dominated by the warm sound of the oboes d'amore; the strings accompany with chord breaks in pizzicato; the flute joins in with repeated notes in a high register and sounds the death knell. The striking of the last hour is also the theme of the following tenor aria, again with oboe d'amore; the striking is audible in torn staccato quavers. After a harmonically remarkable alto accompagnato, the flute takes on a solo role in the following dance-like, cheerful bass aria. Finally, the flute accompanies the chorale melody in the upper octave in the unusual final chorale, which exudes confidence (for once not note against note). The original set of parts contains two flute parts for the entire cantata: An original, bowed part for flauto piccolo (a high recorder) and a second for the more common flauto traverso. Even today, the first is probably the more attractive variant, the second the easier to realize.
