Bach - Motet Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied BWV 225 - MacLeod | Netherlands Bach Society
Музыка
“A complete orchestra should be added to this”, wrote Mozart on his copy of Bach’s motet 'Singet dem Herrn', performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach. He was very enthusiastic about the piece, which was performed as a surprise when he visited the Thomasschule in Leipzig, in 1789. At his request, Mozart was given a copy of it. In his account of the event ten years later, Johann Friedrich Rochlitz says that Mozart even shouted “Now there’s something you can learn from!

Respect for actually taking the repeat in the 2nd mvt!
The absolute peak of ingenuity. It doesn't get any better. No human being has ever achieved greater brilliance than Johann Sebastian Bach with his works, and this piece is one of his finest.
I sing with the Bach Collegium in United States and hope we sing this piece in the future. Purely delightful.
Oh mein Gott, ist das schön! Ich habe das Stück in vierzig Jahren bestimmt an die hundertmal gesungen, ich kann es auswendig. Hätte nie gedacht, dass man es so gut in diesem Tempo singen kann! Und das Tempo ist genau richtig so! Besonders begeistert bin ich von der Textverständlichkeit! Unglaublich!
Last movement only for virtuosos vocal, that was magnificent.
That’s how we will be welcomed in heaven!! It’s so incredibly wonderful and brilliant. Thanks so much
MacLeod is also an absolutely superb singer.
What an absolutely marvellous performance. Perfect intonation and blend of voices and superb tone. I absolutely love the Dutch as a people (one exception being the matron at my boarding school who confiscated my hot water bottle) and this standard of singing, full of such joy and musical perfection, fills me with such a warm sense of identity and oneness with the singers. The motets have been recorded by some eminent British Ensembles and the Trinity Cambridge version under Marlow is very fine, but cannot compare with the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
He gave the best of what he had to give. He was the best and continues to be
Such remarkable focus, articulation, lightness, and sheer presence comes through in this ethereal performance. Such a performance makes this fine music utterly compelling. And the videography matches all this. Gorgeous glowing light, and perfect focus on individual performers. I can't imagine how this could be better. What an achievement! Thank you, yet again.
How beautiful is this?
Difficile de faire mieux . Tempo digne de la pulsation de l'oeuvre du début à la fin. Equilibre des différents registres, toutes les vagues émotionnelles sont ressenties et la simplicité comme la technicité des chanteurs sont exemplaires . Un immense bravo !!
Is this Bach’s greatest work? Maybe. 😎🎹
5:08 --> Grace-filled moment. These alto and tenor mix fantastically well.
The singers & musicians all emanate a light which travels straight through to the listener's soul. Thanks NBS,you are a constant source of joy.
This is one of the best interpretations I've yet heard.
Robert Franenberg is getting a workout in the Halleluja movement at the end! Big fan of his playing. 👍

The absolute Master. Great performance!
Many thanks to all the performers spending so many hours with each other to delight us with this beautiful music. The more you perform together the better and easier it is to meet your directors expectations. Try to remain civil to each other when things get tedious and demanding. You are all doing an exceptional job.
Like a angels' chorus from heaven. Thank you! from Japan.
Can this channel transfer all of their music on their youtube channel to Spotify because I think we all agree that this institution has the best content of bach music, so I would say that it is in your best interest to do so. Sincerely, A fan with a spotify membership

In 1789, 39 years after Bach's death, Mozart happened to be in Leipzig, and visited the Thomasschule. The boys choir was practicing at the time, so the cantor had them perform this piece for Mozart. Mozart went almost manic with joy, and after poring over the varied instrument and singer scores, Mozart made his famous exclamation "Now this is music from which a man can learn something!", and made Mozart a lifelong devotee of Bach's music.

Esta Netherlands Bach Society dá.me cá uma inveja, que faz favor! Uma verdadeira pérola o Bach que é aqui produzido... pela frugalidade, simplicidade, espiritualidade. Um Bach groumet, com sal e pimenta qb, um Bach que oiço com tanto agrado que, de esdrúxulo, nem um som. Tenho pena que, por onde vivo, não exista nada de semelhante. Numa palavra: um Bach comovedor. Agradecidíssimo a Netherlands Bach Society!
Amazing, as always. I’ve been looking forward to this motet. Everything about this project is perfect, the setting, the cinematography and of course the musical performance!
Stunning performance!!

Dit motet heeft mijn aandacht getrokken en tevens kunnen behouden, vooral door het mooie muzikale spel van vraag en antwoord tussen solisten en koor! Opnieuw een puike prestatie, bravo! De titel van Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied doet me trouwens denken aan mijn jeugd, toen een ik een koraal van Handel met die titel zong, helaas nauwelijks te vergelijken met dit sterk uitgewerkte motet.

Was it Kant who said eternity is inconceivable, because it would be too boring? But Bach's cantatas lead us to believe in a realm of light, joy and endless creativity. [excerpt from "When Sebastian Met Immanuel"]
Awesome
Meraviglia💖
Como faz bem ouvir Bach. Ele fez música como nenhum outro. Tentar estudar a suas obras não é possível. Temos que escutar e apreciar suas composições. Uma mais brilhante que a outra. Viverá para sempre.

All male singers were very common in the Baroque era. In most performances during that age, the soprano voices were sung by young boys. 18th century baroque had some weird tastes. The castrato singers were probably the most extreme phenomenon of that era.

Sehr schön, ich kann die Instrumente aber kaum durchhören. Dadurch, dass die Singstimmen so zahlreich belegt sind, sind sogar die Oboen ( auch Oboe d'more) ziemlich unhörbar. Es würde meiner Meinung nach reichen, wenn jede Stimme mit einem oder zwei Sängern besetzt ist.
First comment, bwv 228 please !!
My favorite of Bach's six splendid Motets. However, I feel the tempos in the opening and concluding movements are uncomfortably *too fast.* The profuse and highly complex *contrapuntal figuration* becomes a frantic-sounding *blur* at these inappropriate and ill-considered speeds... and we are left feeling not only vaguely *unnerved,* but somehow *cheated* -- We are not allowed to savor and really appreciate all the intricate "goings-on" that the composer labored at. (In Bach's time, "Allegro" simply meant "lightness/cheerfulness," *not* "Presto Furioso.") Nevertheless, a beautiful rendition by a superb ensemble. The wondrous final Fugue is always a great thrill - both to sing and hear. 💥👍

Mozart visited Leipzig in 1789 and was striked when he heard Bach's " Singet dem Herrn " and asked to see more. He then copied some of the music sheets and even quoted one of Bach's composition ("Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein" BWV2) inside his famous " The magic flute ". If Mozart had been born 6 years earlier, he would have met the person from whom he took these notes
Un feu d artifice à couper le souffle . Dieu nous a donné Bach, ou le contraire Mais si Dieu n'existait pas Bach l'aurait inventé.
Utmost quality in every aspect
Nice......esp no vibrato.
The round cord physically shiver because plough consequently pinch to a wanting match. fat faulty, embarrassed silk
I find it difficult to say anything except that he never gave anything
The music is outstanding but one thing I've never understood is why vocals were written like this back in Bach's time. What's the point of listening to singer's sing words you can't understand? I think it would be just as effective to rearrange these pieces just for instruments. Again, the music is top notch, perfect ,etc...but it's weird to listen to vocals you have no idea of what the words are...
Too fast for me....
I've never understood why the modern baroque performers acting like clown, moving and waving hands like crazy people. Look at Karl Richter, von Karajan or other conductor of the past, they were stoic on the podium.

The Baroque period was about the "Dance" to the text of the music or the Dance style of the movement (Bourree, Courante, Gigue for example), of what kind of dance it was, which is why they use as a expression device for expressing the music in a performance atmosphere, to show where the beat was for example. Truthfully, there was very little information about how the performances during the 1600s-1700s of how music was performed, so this is probably a modern interpretation of playing music in a more period manner (even vibrato in the strings was minimally used for example for important expressive moments, however instruments like woodwinds, did not use any kind of vibrato, that was a modern invention in the 1930-40s actually). The more stoic approach is a more modern approach to playing classical music nowadays. If your barely moving to the music, your not emulating the dance of the period.
