BWV 19/3
Aria (S) Gott schickt uns Mahanaim zu; Wir stehen oder gehen - 1726
Mahanaim evokes the heavenly armies; the angels who protected Jacob in the confrontation with his brother. In this aria, the soprano sings of the comfort provided by the angels’ protection of mankind. The movement has three independent voices, which imitate and complement each other, and a bass line. Words such as Ruh (‘rest’) and stehen (‘stay’) are set to long notes whilst gehen (‘go’) is evoked by semiquavers.
