Ich steh mit einem Fuss im Grabe (I stand with my open grave before me) BWV 156 is one of the few surviving cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach that is based on texts from the so-called Picander cycle. As in several other cantatas that use texts from this poet, Bach opens the work with a sinfonia, most likely taken from an earlier concerto that didn't survive and is later reused as the slow movement of the famous harpsichord concerto in F minor BWV 1056. In the first aria, the poet combines his text with a well-known chorale, a technique that is often found in Bach's cantatas, particularly those from the pre-Leipzig period. The cantata is comprised of six short movements; the choir is used only in the final chorale.

Irish Mood was written in a classic â??theme and variationsâ?? construction, opening with an Irish-inspired melodic theme, which is then followed by four variations of divergent character. After the introduction of the theme by the soloist, the cornets and trombones play the main melody in Variation 1, while the soloist provides a flowing counter melody. Next comes the highly extrovert and lively Variation 2, contrasted by an introverted Variation 3 in a minor key. A masterful tutti (Variation 4) then leads the piece toward a brilliant ending.

Irish Mood ist in einer klassischen Thema und Variationâ??-Struktur komponiert, beginnend mit einem irisch inspirierten melodischen Thema, welchem vier Variationen unterschiedlichen Charakters folgen: Nachdem der Solist das Thema vorgestellt hat, tragen die Cornets und Posaunen die Hauptmelodie in der ersten Variation vor, während das Tenorhorn eine flieÃ?ende Gegenmelodie dazu spielt. Dann folgt eine sehr extrovertierte, lebhafte Variation, kontrastiert von einer introvertierten dritten Variation in Moll. Variation vier ist ein meisterliches Tutti, welches das Werk zu seinem glanzvollen Schluss führt.
