About this work
Ach, lieben Christen, seid getrost BWV 114 contrasts the hymn’s solidity with troubled instrumental figures from the opening fantasia. The soprano carries the tune, supported by horn, while the other voices comment on the text.
The tenor dialogues with flute in an aria of nervous lines. A soprano recitative leads to the bass aria with oboes; after an alto recitative, a soprano aria precedes the final chorale.
Do not let instrumental agitation unsettle the cantus firmus in the opening. Tenor and flute must articulate together. The bass can find support in the oboes’ motif, while the soprano keeps a light line before the chorale.
