Bach also wrote this cantata when he was 24

I know im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me

@Ralph Paxton Instablaster ;)

Having worked as the music director for a Protestant sect, I suspect Bach knew in advance what the theme of a particular Sunday would be. I suspect that the impression that he wrote the cantata on Monday and Tuesday, copied all the parts on Wednesday, and perhaps had Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to rehearse the music for Sunday isn't realistic at all. Copying music by hand is very time-consuming in and of itself. If the churches where Bach worked are anything like the churches where I worked a few hundred years later, the cantatas were performed weeks after he wrote them--just so there would be time to copy and rehearse the music. Given the difficulty of the music, those weeks worth of rehearsals would have been much needed!

@@sueneimoyer5043 basically correct. The Lutheran Church determines readings on a standardized cyclical calendar, meaning that the Bible readings for any given service are determined years in advance; similar to how how you can look ahead in a calendar and know that July 31st, 2029 will be a Tuesday. (Yes, I did check, lol.) This means that Bach knew well in advance what text/theme was scheduled for a given service, and compose accordingly.

Yes to all that. :)

derbeh right

Die Kantaten wurden dazu allgemein von Bach auch "in wenigen Tagen" geschrieben… quasi "im fliegenden Tempo".... das können nur eben nur Genies.

Das denke ich mir die ganze Zeit, wenn ich Bach höre.

That's how I'm using it in the days of covid.

The alto is singing an E, not a D (it's in alto clef).

The funny thing is if you heard this as a disonnance it means the singers are flat lol

RodrigoCL, Surely not, the Stiftung recording and the Gardiner one are 10x better easily. The baroque articulation here (especially in the strings) is appalling, the soloists are hit and miss, and the choir are too dreary and unclear. Treat yourself to a proper interpretation, these poor musicians were still working out HP, we've come a long way since!

Thanks for the sugestion. I listened to them and they sure are much better. Still, this is the one that touchs the heart. Can't explain why, though. Maybe because of its pacing, I guess. I don't know. Sorry.

Richter beats them easily ;)

Harnoncourt and Leonhardt are consistently the most sincere and authentic-sounding performances. Sincere because they don't "act" out love and devotion, they sing it. Authentic because the human and technological imperfections make it humbling to hear them put their whole hearts into it, which is the entire point of the music. I'm transported to a church or festival, whereas with Gardiner I'm at home listening to "the best composer on modern headphones with HIP." And those guys who were just "working it out" made the greatest strides towards HP and laid the foundation for everyone who came after. I give Gardiner and Suzuki and the like second fiddle.

patience is a virtue. You can skip the 21 seconds if you don't feel like seeing the intro.

About 22 years of age! Mental, how many 22 year olds could write something as glorious as this eh? :)

between 22 and 28, however I agree with you, it takes a genius to conceive this. To me it is the proof that he got his inspiration from outside this planet.

Nah, he just grew up quickly, and lived as much to the max as possible! A blessed soul, sonically!

Renji Mao Whhat always blows my mind is how all his music had to have been written by hand. Just copying a score is a gigantic undertaking if done by hand, let alone creating a score.

That is a good point YoungerBrother Wakeup

Performed by Nikolaus Harnoncourt

+Paolo Bosisio. Divertente! Se ho ben capito si tratta dei Wiener Sängerknaben in una vecchia registrazione. Boh

+Alberto Colzani Wiener Sängerknaben coro; Soprano bimbo dei Wiener; contralto Paul Eswood; tenore Kurt Equiluz; basso Max van Egmond; dirige Nicolaus Harnoncourt

The singers sound very old-fashioned, with lots of vibrato.

I know this is a very late comment, but this is in the same key that my scores are in. I think the reason it looks higher is that the score in the video are in the appropriate clefs: soprano alto tenor and bass/ rather than in treble and bass like modern scores. At the very least, Tenor clef looks like treble clef but transposed up by a tone.

if you are musician learn to read old keys Ort leaf it :D No i begin to Joke

+CM L Those are by and large the keys notated in the manuscript of 1722. If you have anything more original than that, it would be great to know.

The pitch and score definitely match. However, there is extensive use of the "C clef", which you may see even on modern Viola scores. The idea is that the "pointing" part of the bracket is middle C. The Soprano vocal part uses soprano clef (you don't see it often aside from conductor's scores), with the middle C being on the lowest of the five lines. Alto clef (commonly used for viola) has middle C on the middle of the 5 lines, and tenor clef (can be used in the modern day for cello and trombone parts with higher pitches) with middle C on the 4th line up. You'll notice the key signatures are also adjusted accordingly.

Yeah, his singing is so incredible. The annunciation, even. . . really amazing.

@@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim In the seven years since I posted this, "insiders" with the choir have identified the boy as Paul Pfeiffer, who sang most of the soprano solos in the first almost 30 cantatas. I can't vouch for that myself, but no-one has contradicted that either. He went on to play horn with the Vienna Philharmonic.

@@AML2000 !!!! Thank you so much! What a delightful surprise! I'm grateful.
