Bach - Cantata Wir danken dir... BWV 29 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society
Музыка
Bach made ingenious use of compositions he had written earlier, blending them with new additions to form a perfect unity. Around a quarter of cantata 'Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, consists of notes Bach had written earlier and likewise, the opening chorus 'Wir dank dir, Gott' is better known from the later Mass in B minor.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 15th at St Martin's Church, Groningen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

"Wir danken dir, Gott", also known as the music for the second Kyrie and the Dona Nobis Pacem in the b minor Mass.
For those who wonder at the organist looking intently at the music and never at the keys, my aunt, who taught me piano used to say, "Look at the music. The keys don't move."

100% agree. If I start looking at my hands while playing, it just makes for confusion. If one has been doing it long enough and knows the music, the hands will go where they need to, on their own.

American conductors I work with don't get what it takes to work with a keyboard/console that can be awkwardly placed so that there is little or no constant contact between organist a d conductor. And so they dismiss both organist and organ as crazy+incompetent. In all other things these highly trained conductors know just what to do. But with the organ: suddenly ignorance! A very fine conductor with a D.M. in my city once condescendingly found a second conductor who had to watch him the main conductor from the organ loft..stand over the very able organist like Victorian scold, and duplicate the main conductor's every move. Teach that rebellious boy a lesson once and for all. Only in America, right?

As a child, we woke up, on every Sunday morning, with this magnificent cantata by my father, a Lutheran pastor.
Bach's birth must be the most miraculous ever in mankind. All human beings should feel obliged to make civilization endure so that it is not lost.
This is what you call magical musical perfection. What an absolute thrill! Sincere thanks to all!
Imagine Bach waking up with this intro in his head. What kind of composer can do this? Just great and not one note too much. A joy to hear.

What's also amazing is that the opening Sinfonia in this cantata was an arrangement of the Prelude of the solo violin Partita in E-major. Bach had all of those harmonies in his head when he wrote the solo violin work.
The organist is absolutely playing wonderful Bach genius level music 🎶!✔️
The sheer beauty and glory of this cantata is brought to such glory in this performance. Never have I heard the opening Sinfonia so vibrant and triumphant and the Wir danken Dir so resonant and full-bodied. The polyphony here is so rich, it stirs you to cry. The clear sense of direction in the first aria Halleluja, Stärk und Macht is such a revel to watch. And he absolutely kills those trills! The quartet's intimate and virtuosic sound is so delightful to hear. And then the Gedenk an uns is just unfathomable in its beauty. The sonorous sounds of the strings and the Siciliano rhythm supports the entire piece as the stunning voice of Maria Keohane, the soprano, sings on top. There's a very striking and sincere beauty to this performance of the aria; it paints a very human sound. I cannot thank the Netherlands Bach Society more. I've listened to this performance for months on repeat. But then the solo work they they put out like Bach's Cello Suite No. 2 also reveals such an intimate and personal sound, each artist being able to bring Bach to life so vividly and with such virtuosity and skill; it arrests you. And to top it all off, it's all presented in pure HD.... I mean come on😩

Same for me when I first read that Bach used the Prelude from the 3rd Partita in this cantata
Her voice is so beautiful, it is timeless. No gray hair can detract from the absolute timelessness and beauty of the work and the absolute beauty of the voice.
That glorious sweep back into the major at 1:26 gets me every time. Like the sun bursting out from behind a cloud.
Isn't it wonderful and amazing how Bach, via this conduit of performers today, can still reach out and stir such deep emothions within us?
Questa cantata risolleva lo Spirito . Non mi stanco mai di riascoltarla. Grazie Bach Netherland's Society . Ma soprattutto Grazie al grande Johann Sebastian Bach ❤ ❤ ❤ 👑🎼🎶🎻❤

Bach, "The 5th Evangelist", blessed us with this sublime musical tribute to God! What a profound piece to inspire faith, compel gratitude, produce humility, and exalt the Lord. Humanity in its corrupt state needs these reminders and pointers to the perfect Word, the Revelation of Christ in Scripture as our full sufficiency for Salvation, Faith, Hope, Peace, and Love.

When you see the audience many of them are old adults, but, I don`t know why when I was very young I was fortunate to hear for the very first time the Toccata BWV 540 in F Major and something happened to me and my brain, and since then Bach is in my head, no other composer, (for my taste and comprehension) is close to him, and I think that all composers after him thinks that he`s the best and forever will be.

I am obsessed with this piece. It is glorious. SDG
Bach hits the ground running full speed in this incredible work, and the momentum never slacks.
Amazing that Bach uses the second movement to end the b minor Mass…it must have meant a great deal to him!
