Notes: |
St. 5 could be sung by a solo voice or an ensemble in order to set it off as God’s address to the
congregation. A different voice might sing the difficult questioning text of st. 6, perhaps switching to the
minor mode for this one stanza (F-minor, 4 flats). A short interlude could reestablish the major mode before
the singing of st. 7. Guitar chaords do not correspond with keyboard harmony. |
