A (rare) autograph date (7/14/1715) confirms that the cantata Barmherziges Herze der ewigen Liebe (Compassionate heart of eternal love) was composed in that year for the 4th Sunday after Trinity. Like many Weimar cantatas, this has the character of a chamber piece. In the opening duet, the two voices and bc are joined by an oboe, which plays the melody of the closing chorale ("Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ"). The complete ensemble only appears in the second aria and the chorale, while the third aria is performed with continuo. In the final chorale, an obbligato violin above the soprano extends the polyphonic texture into five parts. In Weimar, the oboes were tuned lower than the strings, so an oboe d’amore is required to perform the cantata at a unified pitch (the appropriate part is included). Bach performed the cantata again in Leipzig in 1723, now transposed from F-sharp minor to G minor.
