Cantate BWV 136 - Erforsche mich, Gott, und erfahre mein Herze

About this work

Erforsche mich, Gott, und erfahre mein Herz BWV 136 opens with a fugal chorus whose instrumental motion supports the idea of examination. A horn adds a discreet chorale reference above the voices.

A tenor recitative leads to an alto aria with oboe d’amore. After a bass recitative, tenor and bass join in an animated duet, and the final chorale restates a stanza with the ensemble.

Let the fugue subject progress without making every entry identical. Alto and oboe should share phrasing. The duet needs common articulation in rapid figures; reserve a more vertical diction for the chorale.
