Description: Written for soprano, tenor, bass, two violins, viola da gamba and continuo. The bass part has a very wide range, evidently the bass singer at court was quite flexible, or Weckmann simply wrote a complicated part. The gamba part could be carried by a viola if necessary. The contiuno should be performed on the organ, as Weckmann wrote his pieces for church performance. I have included a very simple realisation of the bass line, and added missing figures from the continuo.
The text is from Corinthians 15, 54-55 and 57.
