The first two verses are set, line by line, in a four-part homophonic texture. The two violins add interludes to the chorale, and lead in a kind of ritornello to the next verse. In the third and last verse Buxtehude departs from this model as the violi…

Das Blechbläserregister gibt vom ersten Takt an den Ton mit rhythmischen Motiven an. Allmählich hören wir melodische und spielerische Themen, die oft durch (po…
