Three movements are linked to Bach. For the remaining
six movements no composer is known.
The arioso for bass voice "So heb ich denn mein Auge
sehnlich auf" is the 20th movement of the pasticcio. In
the second half of the 20th century it was attributed
to Bach on stylistic grounds, and added as one of the
Nachträge (later additions) to the
Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis, under the number 1088. In BWV2a
(1998) it was added to the 4th chapter (Passions and
Oratorios).

Although originally written for Bass Voice and Bass
instruments, I created this Arrangement of the "So heb
ich denn mein Auge sehnlich auf" (I lift my longing eye
to Heav'n above) BWV 1087 for Pipe Organ (2 Manuals
w/Pedals).
