Trumpets in the Baroque era: We're an almighty group of three, joined by the timpani, we play beautiful melodies even though our range is very limited and we don't have valves yet Trumpets in the Classical era: Noooo the timpani said they aren't our frendz animor so we plae octafs I gues
11 dislikes? They must have been friends of Johann August Ernesti (1707-81), the new rector of the school where J.S.Bach was teaching music. He made life difficult for Bach, renovating the curriculum of the school to modern standards, doing away with outmoded subjects such as music, and disliking the unfashionable style of the "old" cantor.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oster-Oratorium_(Bach) The German Wikipedia says in the first sentence, it was performed on the first Easter Day (First of April), which should be the Easter Sunday^^ And the English one says it either: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Oratorio
El inicio... qué bello: aparece primero la mortaja o sudario de Cristo, luego el ángel que lo custodia, a continuación las mujeres únicos testigos de este maravilloso hecho y al final Jesús resucitado.... y de fondo la música de Bach!!! Este Oratorio de Resurrección es unas de las obras que me gusta que me gustan mucho de Bach. Cómo me hubiera gustado conocerle y escucharle en vivo!!! Allá en el Paraíso nos veremos JSB. Gracias Gerubach por tan magnifico trabajo! Saludos desde Lima-Perù
I always loved how _Sanfte soll mein Todeskummer_ depicts the feeling of grief being slowly lifted away. Again, what an excellent upload. Thank you and happy Easter.
Too much work and stress this week, but the moment I turn this piece, it all starts to fade away. Bach's music does great wonders to the human soul. It's measurable! Most precious channel on all of YT. Thank you very much for your great work, Geru, and happy Easter! :-)
Excelente, no hay nada mejor que poder leer y escuchar la musica , sobre todo del mayor genio de este genero, muchas gracias por darnos esta posibilidad 😇
Yes. It's very lovely. The whole movement, however, was initially a duet. The "Kommt, eilet..." section was changed for choir and the middle section stayed a duet.
Whenever I listen to the Adagio, the very first note hits me with a deep feeling of nostalgia. I can imagine myself playing the cembalo (I'm a pianist IRL) in a Baroque orchestra, playing basso continuo of some old violin concerto... I don't really know why that happens. Is it just me?
Thank you so much for this! Perfect for Easter! Also I'm so happy to see you were able to use this great recording. Gardiner with his Choir and Orchestra is still the benchmark when it comes to interpreting Bach.
2:43 to 2:50 This chord progression is in so many Bach pieces and it's insane. Brandenburg Concerto 2 and 5 Toccata and Fugue in d minor, Fugue Herr, Unser Herrscher - And countless others. Is there any significance to it or is it just one of Bach's many signatures?
Very good embreshure I believe, and playing very high up where natural harmonics makes it easier. I actually think by Bach's time they did have primative valves. Listen to some Giovanni Gabrieli which was certainly before valves. Amazing.
There are times of despair where nothing can save me except 'Sanfte soll mein Todeskummer'. And then I consider being a Christian but then I realise that my Jewish beliefs can and do coexist with Lutheran beliefs about death... somehow...!
That is how you played this kind of rhythm back in the day. You may also notice that the punctuation is doubled, the dotted eigth is played as a double-dotted eigth. The idea of having two dots behind a note making it even longer and thus being accurate was invented by Leopold Mozart, I believe. The musicians knew how to play rhythms like these, so there was no point in wasting precious space.
