Description:
Picander's libretto tells the mythological story of young Hercules, who has to choose between lust and virtue. Hercules naturally chooses virtue, the 'right' path. An equation of Hercules with the young Elector can already be guessed at in the first choral movement and is sealed in the final chorus.
Musically, most of the choruses and arias of the cantata are known today. Bach later adopted it in his "Christmas Oratorio" BWV 248. For example, the festive opening chorus "Lasst uns sorgen, lasst uns wachen" found its place as the opening chorus "Fallt mit Danken, fallt mit Loben" of the New Year's Cantata. The effect may differ due to the different thematic embedding – but numerous aha effects are guaranteed for the audience!
