Well, the opening is accompanied by a syncopated dance in the orchestra, and the second part after the recit. is labeled "Allegro" and is in cut time, so I suspect the ideology is Bach's! I see you favor modern instrument performances of baroque music so that is probably the perspective you're coming from. Harnoncourt was subjected to much the same angry reaction by some years ago, so that's nothing new!
Mit Fried' und Freud' ich fahr' dahin In Gottes Willen;
Getrost ist mir mein Herz und Sinn, Sanft und stille,
Wie Gott mir verheißen hat: Der Tod ist mein Schlaf worden.
"Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin" is perverted in
"Mit Hast und Leid ich ras' dahin" by Harnoncourt. This choral talks about peace and joy, gentleness, calm and death not about a formula 1 race in imola.
Completely destroyed by this desastrous ideology. I am sad if I have to hear what they do and what they have done to the music in the name of this ideology. Whenever ideology takes over the spirit leaves the stage thru the back exit.
It sounds strange and over-chirpy. SImply too fast. The choir is awful too.

At 4:29 the cantata starts to resemble the hymn "All glory, laud and honor".

@AML2000 This is a brilliant reply. A look at the score indeed shows that this was Bach's idea.
