About this work
Es ist dir gesagt, Mensch, was gut ist develops its opening chorus in three large sections. Direct chords at the beginning frame a central fugue where the text passes among the sections. Flutes, oboes and strings support this architecture without blurring articulations that are essential to understanding it.
The tenor receives a recitative and aria before the division between both parts. The second begins with a bass arioso in which the words of Christ are punctuated and expanded by the choir. An alto aria with obbligato flute creates a more mobile space before the recitative and concluding chorale.
In the opening, rehearse all three sections separately, then connect them within a constant pulse. The bass arioso needs clean choral replies without massed effect. The alto must breathe with the flute and keep text intelligible through coloratura. Preserve a plain final cadence in the chorale after this long construction.
