World, away, I long only for heaven by Dietrich Buxtehude Organ - Sheet Music

By Dietrich Buxtehude

The aria Welt, packe dich, ich sehne mich nur nach dem Himmel (BuxWV 106) to a text by Justus Sieber from his book "Poetisierende Jugend" (1658) is composed for two sopranos, bass, two violins, violone, and basso continuo. After an instrumental Sonata, the five verses, interrupted by instrumental ritornelli sections, are presented by the different voices.The turning away from earthly things and the contrast between earth and heaven are illustrated in every verse by the change to 3/4 meter. The cantata ends with the repetition of the opening line of the poem "Welt, packe dich" and a rhythmically concise triad motif.
