Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from We Must Through Great Tribulation; Wir Müssen Durch Viel Trübsal: Sacred Cantata No. 146 for the Third Sunday After Easter
The full score includes Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass soli, four-part Chorus, Flute, two Oboes, two Oboi d'amore, Taille, Strings, and Organ. This cantata would seem to be one of several written at the time when the St. Thomas School was being renovated, and a small positive organ was moved into the church, where it was used as an obbligato instrument for playing such solo parts as are found in this and certain other cantatas.
The Sinfonia is the first movement of the D minor Concerto for Clavier and Orchestra, which also introduces Cantata No. 188. Here the organ is indicated as the solo instrument.
The second movement is founded on the Adagio of the concerto mentioned above. Three elements unite to form this remarkable chorus: a ground bass, a freely moving solo part, and an independent chorus superimposed. This unique device produces a work of con summate artistry and craftsmanship.
