About this work
Jesus schläft, was soll ich hoffen turns the calming of the storm into a succession of scenes. The alto aria begins in suspended texture with two flutes and strings, as though motion were held back. After the tenor recitative, his aria sends the strings into fast continuous figures.
The bass first intervenes alone with continuo in the arioso Ihr Kleingläubigen, Christ’s words at the centre of the account. His next aria expands accompaniment to oboes d’amore and strings, moving from agitation to calm. An alto recitative and Unter deinen Schirmen chorale end seven movements.
Make the contrast in density between the first two arias clear without arbitrary changes of pulse. The tenor must articulate above agitated strings; the bass should retain calm authority in the arioso. In the following aria, orchestra and voice build the calming together before a plain chorale.
