Specific information available for subscribers.
Title often given as Aus der Tiefe.
Soprano and alto sing the cantus firmus in the arias for bass and tenor respectively (mvts.2&4); some consider these SA lines to be solos also, rather than choral sections.
In addition to the version in G minor (offered by Breitkopf, Carus), the work may legitimately be performed in A minor; Carus publishes it separately in this key.

II. Duet: "So du willst, Herr, Sünde zurechnen"
