 In the later Leipzig version, Bach structured the cantata in eight movements.He scored it for four vocal soloists (soprano (S), alto (A), tenor (T) and bass (B)), a four-part choir (SATB), and a Baroque chamber ensemble of three oboes (Ob), two oboes d'amore (Oa), oboes da caccia or taille (Ta), two violins (Vl), viola (Va), violoncello (Vc), and various instruments playing the basso continuo line.The duration is given as 30 minutes by Dürr.
