About this work
Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bahn BWV 132 begins with a soprano aria rather than a chorus. Oboe and voice dialogue in lively music that immediately embodies the text’s call.
A tenor recitative leads to a bass aria with cello, and the alto then receives a recitative and an aria with strings. The libretto calls for a final chorale, but that movement’s music is not preserved.
Soprano and oboe must share articulation without rushing figures. In the bass aria, let the cello carry continuity. The alto aria closes the surviving music here; do not invent a resolution belonging to the lost chorale.
