Bach set clear limits for himself in 'Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. He used the complete unaltered text of a well-known hymn by Joachim Neander. The original hymn has five verses and the cantata has the same number of movements. There are no recitatives. Such a piece is also referred to as a chorale cantata.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on February 18th 2017 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

In undergraduate counterpoint, I studied this work as an example of chorale embellishment. Bach's inventiveness continues to stun me. Why are those leaps in the string writing also so much fun to sing? How marvelous his varieties in texture and dance rhythm. This performance stands out for many reasons, not least the ACTIVE LISTENING evident in the video. How lucky we are!

The second movement was transcribed by Bach himself for the collection of organ chorales called the Schubler Chorales. Bach was a prolific transcriber of his own works. See how many times he transcribed the fabulous Preludium for violin in E major = Sinfonia of Cantata No. 29 "Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir"

Vocally instrumentally and in terms of counterpoint this cantata is remarkable. The Alto aria with the violIn in particular. The duet that follows is a testament to Bach's skills at counterpoint. The next movement has a tenor with cello and a trumpet playing the chorale melody.

@majigaining 4 жыл бұрын

Bach arranged this piece based on a hymn by a German hymn writer Joachim Neander. The hymn in English is called Praise to the Lord Almighty. You will hear the theme came our quite clear at the last movement. Sadly not a lot of churches in India sing this song, even in the Baptist North East hardly anybody knows this song, except may be at more sophisticated institution like Patkai Christian College.

Just for clarification: Yes, six movement from Bach's cantatas were arranged for solo organ. These are called "Schübler Chorales" after the arranger, who was a student of Bach. These arrangements were approved ( possibly corrected) and published by the composer and since than favorite pieces for organists and music lovers. The second aria of Cantata #137 is #6 of the Schübler Chorales. This performance of Cantata #137 is outstanding, uplifting, heavenly. Thank you!!!

I like the subtle differences in the the way you do the first verse entries, same music, but the first time, I feel like your tempo is a tiny bit faster and the playing is a bit more hands on on the beats. The second time around you do slightly softer agogics, it's even more solemn than the first time. Very beautifully done, incredible musicianship.
