J.S. Bach / Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten, BWV 93 (Herreweghe) 

Gott labt walten (chorus). Glory to God in between million of stars, marvelous contrafunktus.🙏

Herreweghe's Bach is one of the purest sounds I've ever heard. It makes me feel like I am more than just skin surrounding a handful of bones. The painting by Peterssen is all a serene rhapsody without words

Eine Kantate, wunderbar interpretiert. Worte sind ein Trost, eine Bereicherung in der Corona-Zeit

Shabbat Shalom 🌹 Thank you so much for sharing this outstanding beautiful composition.

The most beautiful music all time

Wonderful music

What a beautiful cantata!

Splendid,! Great melodic in the instrumentation, the human voice and accentuated with the rhythmical beat Bach composes his cantatas which give the delightful feeling of serenity.

Wundervoll tröstlich!

Was helfen uns die schweren Sorgen....so leicht....abzugeben und doch so schwer zu übersetzen ...

Bach es el padre de la música, sus obras sublimes llegan al alma, saludos desde Chile🎼🎶

Bach does it again.

1 1Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten Und hoffet auf ihn allezeit, Den wird er wunderlich erhalten In allem Kreuz und Traurigkeit. Wer Gott, dem Allerhöchsten, traut, Der hat auf keinen Sand gebaut. Whoever lets only the dear God reign and hopes in him at all times, he will preserve in a marvellous way in every cross and sadness. Whoever trusts in almighty God has not built upon sand. 2 2. Was helfen uns die schweren Sorgen? Was hilft uns unser Weh und Ach? Was hilft es, daß wir alle Morgen Beseufzen unser Ungemach? Wir machen unser Kreuz und Leid Nur größer durch die Traurigkeit. How much do heavy worries help us ? How much do our 'woe and alas' help us? How much does it help, that every morning we sigh over our misfortune ? We make our own cross and sorrow only greater through sadness. 3 3. Man halte nur ein wenig stille Und sei nur in sich selbst vergnügt, Wie unsers Gottes Gnadenwille, Wie sein' Allwissenheit es fügt. Gott, der uns sich hat auserwählt, Der weiß auch gar wohl, was uns fehlt. We should only keep quiet for a little while and be content in ourselves in accordance with the gracious will of our God's, with how his omniscience arranges. God who has chosen us for himself knows very well what we need. 4 4. Er kennt die rechten Freudenstunden, Er weiß wohl, wann es nützlich sei. Wenn er uns nur hat treu erfunden Und merket keine Heuchelei, So kommt Gott, eh' wir's uns versehn, Und läßet uns viel Gut's geschehn. He knows the right hours of joy, he knows well when it will be useful: if he has only found us faithful and notices no hypocrisy, then God comes, before we expect and allows much good to happen to us. 5 5. Denk nicht in deiner Drangsalshitze, Daß du von Gott verlaßen sei'st, Und daß der Gott im Schoße sitze, Der sich mit stetem Glücke speist. Die Folgezeit verändert viel Und setzet jeglichem sein Ziel. Do not think in the heat of your suffering that you have been abandoned by God and that someone else who enjoys constant good fortune sits in God's lap. Time's course brings about many changes and appoints to each person his goal. 6 6. Es sind ja Gott sehr leichte Sachen Und ist dem Höchsten alles gleich, Den Reichen arm und klein zu machen, Den Armen aber groß und reich. Gott ist der rechte Wundermann, Der bald erhöhn, bald stürzen kann. For God these are easy matters and the Almighty can equally make the rich man poor and little, while he makes the poor man rich and great. God is the true worker of wonders who can soon raise up , soon cast down . 7. Sing, bet und geh auf Gottes Wegen, Verricht das Deine nur getreu Und trau des Himmels reichem Segen, So wird er bei dir werden neu; Denn welcher seine Zuversicht Auf Gott setzt, den verläßt er nicht. 7 Sing, pray and go on God's way, Perform your part only faithfully and trust in the rich blessing of heaven, then he will be with you anew; For who places his confidence in God, he does not abandon.

Bach livre da fuga rígida, fazendo cada linha da textura mover-se cantando, leves. É belo demais!

Ecouter Bach, ce fastueux compositeur, implique une régression, l'acceptation d'un abandon du sens critique et un relâchement pour résonner avec l'expression des passions humaines. Une musique émouvante et sensuelle qui restera toujours ouverte aux malades de l'esprit et du cœur.

Bella cantata-coral de Bach.En palabras de Whittaker."De nuevo nos asombra la inmensa destreza de Bach."

The duet (10:51) chorale-elaboration must be one of the highest achievements by all beings on this planet

Wunderschön...

Herrlich, anrührend und wunderbar!

gorgeous music and I haven't heard this one before, many thanks!

Spectacular music. Beautiful music deserves a beautiful photo to accompany it. You can find one, if you put some thought into it.

This is incredibly beautiful. Herreweghe is remarkably skilled at interpreting the slower movements.

I am loving my INBOX this morning! BRIAN

One of Bach's best and that really is saying something! Beautifully performed. Just a pity there is no video.

Upon seeing the image I immediately thought "that's Norwegian!", and quite right, it's Eilif Peterssen. Great artist. As for Bach, his music needs no words from me.

Bach composed cantata BWV 93 in 1724 in Leipzig, performed on July 9th for the 5th Sunday after Trinity, lyrics by Georg Neumark. (Readings: Epistle: 1 Peter 3: 8-15; Gospel: Luke 5: 1-11) Translated to English by Richard Stokes, the title is "If you but permit God to prevail": 1. Chorus [Verse 1] (S, A, T, B) The man who leaves to God all power And hopeth in him all his days, He will most wondrously protect him Through ev'ry cross and sad distress. Who doth in God Almighty trust Builds not upon the sand his house. 2. Chorale [Verse 2] and Recit. (B) What help to us are grievous worries? They just oppress the heart With heavy woe, with untold fear and pain. What help to us our "woe and ah!"? It just brings bitter, sad distress. What help to us that ev'ry morning With sighing from our sleep to rise And with our tearstained countenance at night to go to bed? We make ourselves our cross and grief Through anxious sadness only greater. So fares a Christian better; He bears his cross with Christ-like confidence and calm. 3. Aria (T) If we be but a little quiet,(1) Whene'er the cross's hour draws nigh, For this our God's dear sense of mercy(2) Forsakes us ne'er in word or deed. God, who his own elected knows, God, who himself our "Father" names, Shall one day ev'ry trouble banish And to his children send salvation. 4. Aria [Verse 4] (S, A) with instr. chorale He knows the proper time for gladness, He knows well when it profit brings; If he hath only faithful found us And marketh no hypocrisy, Then God comes, e'en before we know, And leaves to us much good result. 5. Chorale [Verse 5] and Recit. (T) Think not within thy trial by fire, When fire and thunder crack And thee a sultry tempest anxious makes, That thou by God forsaken art. God bides e'en in the greatest stress, Yea, even unto death With his dear mercy midst his people. Thou may'st not think then That this man is in God's lap sitting Who daily, like the wealthy man, In joy and rapture life can lead. Whoe'er on constant fortune feeds, Midst nought but days of pleasure, Must oft at last, When once he hath of idle lust his fill, "The pot is poisoned!"(3) utter. Pursuing time transformeth much! Did Peter once the whole night long With empty labors pass the time And take in nothing? At Jesus' word he can e'en yet a catch discover.(4) Midst poverty then trust, midst cross and pain, Trust in thy Jesus' kindness With faithful heart and spirit. When rains have gone, he sunshine brings,(5) Appointing ev'ry man his end. 6. Aria (S) I will to the Lord now look And e'er in my God put trust. He worketh truly wonders rare.(6) He can wealthy, poor and bare, And the poor, both rich and great, According to his pleasure make. 7. Chorale [Verse 7] (S, A, T, B) Sing, pray, and walk in God's own pathways, Perform thine own work ever true And trust in heaven's ample blessing, Then shall he stand by thee anew; For who doth all his confidence Rest in God, he forsaketh not.

I love the Google translation of #2: "What help is the heavy worries."

Thank you.

What a wonderful piece of music. But the horrible placed ad's distroing everything.

Very good !

I would like to know on which basis the AI composed the pieces. The first one in baroque style sounded remarkably similar to the chorale "Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten" which was originally composed by Georg Neumark and then interpreted by composers such as Bach and Mendelssohn Bartholdy. If the goal was to adapt to baroque composing and maybe arrange an already existing piece, then well, mission accomplished. But I don't think this can be called an original piece by an AI.

There was an incredibly beautiful cantata on youtube, but I think it's been taken off. If anyone can help me identify it I'd appreciate. :) The only thing I remember is the thumbnail: A sculpture photo: row of identical (color: light grey-white) marble sculptures with weird head gear (crowns?) and long garments. If I had to guess I'd have thought they were praying women, if the headgear did not make them look like those death knights from lord of the rings!

Herreweghe 1991, ce n"est pas ce qu'il y a de mieux dans la matière, il a d'ailleurs réenregistré en 2009

unbelievably boring deformation of bach's music…typical accepted performance though..pitiful…no wonder varèse wrote a concerto for cement mixer…
