yes

I agree a very mystical work.Made me feel like weeping it is so beautiful . Thanks

Oudtshoornify, your words in review capture the essence of this unique performance. I could not agree with you more! Thanks for articulating what others beyond ourselves must feel though the experience. DJ in Knoxville TN

You obviously never herd the performance of Lithuanian chamber orchestra under the condact of Saulius Sondetckis,haven't you?

No, I have not heard that performance. You can not not appreciate any performance which is conducted by JEG's baton. His performances are consistently of the highest standard, and that is what he expects of each singer and instrumentalist. The whole experience is one of delight to the spirit.

C'est parce que l'homme à une espérance et croyance dans le divin que des cathédrales ont pu être construites, que la sixtine a été créée que des pyramides ont été élevées que des oeuvres comme celle ci sont nées. Mac Do, Samsung, dollar, Apple et consort appauvrissent nos âmes. Nous ne puisons notre force que dans le tout puissant...cosmique...élevons nos âmes, nous sommes trop faibles devant la mort et l'éternité, sinon à quoi bon la vie, si elle n'est pas faite d'amour et d'espérance face à la mort...

Beautiful

Can you believe this piece? It has me shocked every time. It is the most metal thing I have ever heard.

What crap is this? "Metal" is your best expression to describe this marvelous composition?

What about Vivaldi? Magnificat or Gloria or Domine ad adiuvandum me..

@@lorebern6538 Vivaldi’s music was wonderful, always full of life, however he was not overall as fine as Handel. “G.F. Handel, the master of us all”. W.A. Mozart.

@@lorebern6538 The great thing about Handel is his musical genius He used the musical forms from the rest of Europe to make a voice that was all his own , vocal and instrumental which had never been heard before This performance is a wonderful example of how his music transcended all others except Bach.

Ridiculous to compare Vivaldi and Handel. Both of them are perfect in their own way, but it is like comparing apples and oranges. Completely different. Some of us happen to like one more than the other.

Handel, the consumate composer. Barbra Streisand, in the day, the consumate actress and vocalist.

It is indeed incredible, Sally! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented. You won't be disappointed. kzfaq.info

I know how you feel! I played in 2 high school orchestras and went to music camp in high school. I felt so engaged in what I was doing and loved practicing and playing with my school mates. Such a great experience!!!

Great description

No, it's more a warning!

Great.

Vous connaissez Zelenka ? Si vous adorez Haendel je pense vous allez aussi craquer sur la musique de Jan Dismas Zelenka ! C'est un compositeur tchèque de la même période qu'on redécouvre et qui a composé essentiellement de la musique sacrée latine intégralement de ce genre-là (parfois même en plus "folle") : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gayHdN1_zJu7nYU.html

What does Dixit mean?

@@davidedwards1885 Without needing to be a Latin scholar, this is the Latin for the 3rd word in the English translation of Psalm 110, which begins "The LORD said unto my Lord, come sit at my right hand..." In the Latin text, it begins with the verb.

It‘s long ago that i have seen this airline logo „British Overseas Airways Corporation“.

"Go change your Huggie, boy, and stop that cryin'"

Ditto all the above! (My intro to the work.) BRAVI !!

The Text which is Sung here is read at church on the Day of Ascension of Christ, we have it today (Thursday, 18. of May 2023).

Quality

Yes I think it is indeed youthful exuberance! Like Handel is saying, "look what I can do!" When I first heard this work (and luckily it was this performance), I was stunned at its intensity, drama, and emotional range- it is a perfect example of the Baroque style at its most spectacular. I can never understand those who think Baroque music is just mathematical and mechanical. It must be thrilling (and hair-raising) to conduct, you are so fortunate!

HE IS A TRUE GENIUS

Agreed!

It's extremely difficult for the chorus.

Hmm

I just performed this piece and I know why lol. It’s pretty difficult and at 440 (modern tuning) very high for the soprano section at least HOLY TOLEDO 🥴 After my initial discomfort with the thing though, it was A LOT OF FUN!!!

Il a aussi un livre remarkable sur Jean Sebastian Bach. Saisit pas si c'est en Francais mais il est vraiment un grand de le genre. Music from the Kingdom of Heaven ou quelquechose

"Musique au château du ciel" Effectivement très beau livre qui a bien été traduit en français.

Mai aussi. Je passais par ici en cherchant autre chose, et je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'écouter jusqu'à la fin. Je connais cette œuvre depuis longtemps, et j'ai le malheur de comprendre les paroles latines qui traduisent pour moi toute la brutalité que le fanatisme religieux peut inspirer : le dieu vengeur « implebit ruinas, conquassabit capita in terra multorum », il mettra des ruines dans tout le pays des ennemis, il écrabouillera (conquassabit) leurs crânes partout. Les paroles sont dégoûtantes. Mais ici j'ai été fasciné par la "dulcedo cantuum", la suavité de la musique, et j'ai oublié la brutalité du texte. Contrairement aux commentaires qu'on lit souvent sur KZfaq, j'ai l'impression que les compositeurs de musique religieuse doivent souvent transcender les textes qu'on leur fait mettre en musique...

Ditto.

Yup, Handel does that to you, particularly when performed to this standard.

At that age, he just did not know what was impossible to achieve :-)

Die Fugen und der Kontrapunkt machen es nicht schwerer, sondern einfacher, die Musik zu singen. Es ist bei aller Emotionalität logisch aufgebaut.

You are correct. I am performing it tonight, and it is the only piece I had to actually practice outside the weekly rehearsals!

He has given us the key, we must simply turn the (to) Handel

I agree. It is more than gift...

Yes

It’s really beautiful

Yes! I feel the same way about the finale! Particularly the way Handel sustains and spins out the fugue to what feels like an unprecedented length is thrilling. Even the subject of the fugue gets your blood racing as its rhythm on those first repeated notes accelerates, as though creating then concentrating the energy to move forward. And ending firmly in the minor enhances the drama of the entire work. You sense he was showing off his skills in a feat of virtuosity. A master at twenty-one! And it already "sounds like Handel". I want it never to end...

Agreed! Thank you GFH for not ending on a Picardy third!

I'm in the same boat. We were going to sing a concert as well of Canadian repertoire. We've been meeting on zoom but it's not the same thing.

I hope you guys get to perform!! I have great admiration for people who have developed musical skills to the point of performing in symphonies. My terminology might be off, but I just love baroque music.

@@mynamewhatis7254 Thanks! The plan is that whenever it's safe to do so (hopefully soon) we'll perform the exact concert we would have last March. I cannot wait.

It's really something.

Ah ouais

Scordar

Very simple music compare to the complex works by Bach.

He went to Italy at age 22 to show the Italians that he can compose in their style with this one. I don't think there was any doubt afterwards about his abilities thereafter.

@@opus4rv Handel learned it all from the Italians. Do you know of Italians going to Germany to learn music? Haendel is a second-hand product. Leo Depuydt (Brown University)

@@leodepuydt308 I don't think it is right to say that händel is a second hand product. Yes, he used the Italian style and not the German, but he did it brilliantly (I don't refer ro some copies from other's), and he also used some German themes in some of his works.

@@leodepuydt308 Maybe your description is a little rough and impolite to Haendel, but indeed Italy still was the cultural capital of the world at the time and their truths the most recognized. Even in our days, the names of the notes, the tempo indications and other elements in music, are Italian or latin.

Indeed!

Handel is my favorite composer! For my music degree: I wrote my thesis on Handel's organ concertos.

@@ericvanjames8395 Congratulations. You made a very wonderful choice. What is amazing in Handel, in my opinion, is the fact that he didn’t came from a music family, like Mozart or Beethoven. He had to fight with his father to study music! When I think about this time - barroco time- and see what we’re living nowadays, I fell myself sadness….

yes you are right
