The cantata is unusual in the sense that all of its sections call for different combinations of vocal forces. The first section ("Gütigster, Bester! Weisester, Größter!") has two settings. The first setting is scored for two tenors and two basses a capella, while the second setting is scored for two tenors, bass and piano. The second section ("So Güt' als Weisheit strömen mild") is an aria scored for tenor accompanied by piano. The third section ("Unser aller Großpapa, bleibe noch recht lange da!") is a canon (with coda) for three voices.
