About this work
Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme BWV 140 opens with a vast chorale fantasia. The soprano sustains the tune above the orchestra’s dotted rhythms while lower voices answer the calls to wake.
A tenor recitative leads to the first soprano-bass duet with violino piccolo. The central chorale is sung by tenors amid strings; after a bass recitative, a second duet precedes the final chorale.
Keep the orchestral rhythm dancing and the cantus firmus sovereign in the first movement. Both duets are dialogue scenes; coordinate textual replies as closely as imitation. The tenor chorale should move without heaviness.
