Bach: Ich ruf' zu dir Herr Jesu Christ, BWV 639 | Matthew Parrella
Музыка
One of the more well known from a collection of 46 choral preludes in Johann Sebastian Bach's (1685-1750) Orgelbüchlein, this piece is one of my favorites that I've been fortunate to learn with my great professor Christopher Houlihan. The song feels like the exhausted plea of a soul who endured a tormenting exertion, yet I think it's beautiful because there's a weary hope that's drawn through it - the heartbeat in the pedal lives through the last measure. That sentiment comes across very differently on the two organs in Trinity College's chapel (indicated with their company, location, and time of production at the beginning of each section). I love what both of them add to the prelude so I thought I'd share both in one video. I hope you enjoy!
German Text:
Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ! Ich bitt, erhör mein Klagen; verleih mir Gnad zu dieser Frist, lass mich doch nicht verzagen. Den rechten Glauben, Herr, ich mein, den wollest du mir geben, dir zu leben, mein' m Nächsten nütz zu sein, dein Wort zu halten eben.
English Translation (Johann Agricola):
I call to You, Lord Jesus Christ! I beg, hear my complaint! Grant me grace at this time; let me not despair! The pure faith, Lord, I wish that You would give me: to live to You, to help my neighbor, and to keep Your Word faithfully.

Thank you! I first got to know this piece for its very effective use in Tarkovsky's movie 'Solaris'.

Glad you like it! It’s funny you mention that, I also heard it recently in the 2022 release of All Quiet on the Western Front, though in that movie they chose to use Italian composer Busoni’s piano transcription rather than the German prelude by Bach. I think that was a really great choice to add to the complex geopolitical dynamic. It’s definitely a really prolific piece and I’ll have to check out Solaris!

Same here! Bach and Tarkovskiy really go hand in hand. Both are talking about Spirit.

Very well played, Matthew! I strongly prefer the version on the Nicholson organ, but that's just because it sounds more authentic.

Thank you! I agree, I love our little pipe organ so much for that reason. Subscribed to your channel as well, I love what you're doing!
¡Maravilloso! Ambas registraciones, sin igual. Me inclino por el "cantus firmus" con la lengüeta. Gran sensibilidad en la interpretación. Saludos.
Thank you for your beautiful playing, JS Bach certainly knew how to touch the human soul with his incredibly beautiful melodies. I prefer it on the Austin organ, there's something very haunting about that organ.

Thank you very much! The Austin organ is certainly a lot stronger but has some lovely, delicate stops, so I'm glad that the otherworldly feeling came through. I'm working on an anhang to this piece (by Bach's son C.P.E. Bach) which has annotations that make the piece even more chilling and rich, so I'll hopefully get to record that in a month!
I liked the second version better - it had a very heartwarming quality by being played slightly faster than usual!

The tune is the soul wandering; the arpeggiated counterpoint is the grinding on nonetheless. The pedals brings them together in a context of "its all meant to be this way, get used to it"
Thank you for performing this, you may see the piano transcription of this work in my vids.

Thank you too! I have to say that I like some of the interpretations and translations of Bach’s pieces as much as (or sometimes more than) the “original” versions, and I’m hoping to record his son’s organ anhang to this piece sometime in the fall. You played Busoni’s translation splendidly!
