Concerto in D minor, BWV 1052, which was possibly
derived from a lost violin concerto. The original music
of the cantata is also lost, but scholars are convinced
that it is a work of Bach. He used an instrumental
concerto in a similar way for movements of his cantatas
Gott soll allein mein Herze haben, BWV 169 and Ich geh
und suche mit Verlangen, BWV 49, where his authorship
is beyond doubt.
This Aria for Tenor and Bass is from the seventh
movement titled "Wie will ich mich freuen, wie will ich
mich laben".
Although originally written for Baroque Orchestra and
voice, I created this arrangement for Woodwind Quintet
(Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet, French Horn and Bassoon).
