About this work
Meinem Jesum lass ich nicht BWV 124 opens with a purposeful chorale fantasia. The soprano, doubled by horn, carries the tune while oboe d’amore, strings and lower voices develop their own figures.
A tenor recitative leads to an aria in which the voice dialogues with oboe d’amore. After a bass recitative, soprano and alto form a duet with strings, and the final chorale gathers the last stanza.
Establish the cantus firmus before layering the counterpoint. In the aria, tenor and oboe must share breaths. The duet needs unified attacks and constant attention to imitations without weighting the cadence that leads into the chorale.
