Description:
The six-movement cantata is based on the song of the same name by Ahasverus Fritsch, which was first recorded in the Darmstadt songbook in 1698. It is therefore one of the choral cantatas that use a hymn close to the pietistic aria. As usual, the hymn text is retained in the outer movements, while the text of the inner movements - two secco recitatives as well as a tenor and a bass aria - is based on the contrast between a hostile world and the certainty of Jesus; the relationship of the cantata text to Epiphany is correspondingly limited. In the first movement, the soprano sings the hymn melody in its entirety, accompanied by mostly homophonic vocal parts, while the instrumental part is largely characterized by the melody of the first line of the hymn. The tenor aria is remarkable with its contrasting middle section and its chromatic turns, in which Bach once again proves himself to be a master of harmony. The demands on the choir are not particularly high, but the instrumentalists are challenged in the first movement and in the two arias.
