I had the privilege of portraying German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer in a production of “The Beams are Creaking”. He sings this song right before his execution. It is very emotional for him, not because of his imminent death, but because he will finally meet his Savior in eternity. This was his favorite hymn. Thank you for performing this wonderful piece. This song now has a very special place in my soul.

@@julietchristensen3957very good point. I remember being in choir when I was a teenager and we definitely rehearsed the music over and over again before concerts. Yet I don’t think we could have performed at the concerts without our director. Especially with starting each song. But these guys are clearly better and more advanced than my school choir and orchestra. Though we did first place in California performing arts and got to perform at Disneyland and spend the day there.😎

1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper he, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe does seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing. You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same; and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God has willed his truth to triumph through us. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure; one little word shall fell him. 4 That Word above all earthly powers no thanks to them abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still; his kingdom is forever!

@jameswoodard4304 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, let's put a bit of poppy syncopation in "A Mighty Fortress is Our God," and make sure the conductor looks like he got his head caught in something. It's only one of the most sung Protestant hymns of all time, so it's probably best to tweak the rhythm so that no one listening will be able to sing along with it. Great job. This is only any good at all because of the song you started with. Maybe leave it as it was.

@maitre32 Жыл бұрын

You realize the first entrance of the tune is in Luther's original rhythmic meter - what you call poppy syncopation. As Americans we've only been used to the isometric tune (all equal quarter notes).

@@maitre32 , 1. It's not just an American thing. Germans sing it the same way, just with the German lyrics. 2. It may have been a different rhythm than later became popular, but I refuse to believe Luther wrote it the way it is being shown here in the 16th Century.

@@jameswoodard4304 You can refuse to believe all you want, but it's the truth: Luther wrote the syncopated rhythmic version.
