I am a native german speaker, director, composer and voice teacher. This is nonense. Makes no sense. His german phonetics is wrong. Don't listen to it. How does he dare?!?!

English spoken German words, not good!

I might be cooked

Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende Es drückten deine schönen Hände Mir die getreuen Augen zu Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende Es drückten deine schönen Hände Mir die getreuen Augen zu Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh

in 'Wiefiel' the stress should be on the first syllable. They should not be pronounced separately.

I'm sorry, but this video is a total waste of time as the "pronunciation" is just a typical American trying to read German and that is exactly what it sounds like ... only a native German can give you the correct "pronunciation" . Maybe listen to a German sing this, and you will see that it is a night and day difference ! Sorry to be so negative, but I just don't want anybody to think this is correct German or the "Bist Du bei mir" sounds like this ... as it just doesn't ! This is one of the best versions I have found on TH-cam search for the video "J. S. Bach - Bist du bei mir Benjamin Appl (baritone)".

I sang this to lyrics in English at school, many moons ago, and it still resonates with me today because it's exactly how I feel about music. Thou heavenly art, in many hours of sadness, when life's hard toil my spirit hath oppressed, Hast thou my heart revived with love and gladness, and borne my soul above to realms of rest, and borne my soul to realms of rest. Oft hath thy strains set free a sigh of sorrow, and soothed my grief with tender thoughts divine, I hear thy whisper of a brighter morrow, and thank thee for that heavenly gift of thine! That heavenly gift, that gift of thine. ❤

Thank you for posting this, it's so helpful for practicing!

I'm a native English-speaker, but fluent in German and have been taking singing lessons for almost a year now. The following rendition is my model - th-cam.com/video/bZZqZTKoFcM/w-d-xo.html

this helped me so much 🥰🥰

thank you so much

Seb-bén accento sulla seconda " e "

Does not sound anything near native German. Warmer you pronounce really awfull. there needs to be a bit of v in the w . And al your end r's need to be softened. also ch is not correct. Not end entruukt. but short. And be aware of the double consonnants. The safest way is to split up the word. Then you know directly how to pronounce. Anyway with this video you won't sound German.

Thank you!

I struggle with languages and will be singing this for a memorial service. This is a great help. Thank you!!

Danke, aber die Aussprache ist nicht gut genug.

thank you thank you thank you thank you

gracias por compartir la pronunciacion en aleman es muy util para mi que tengo que estudiar la obra

As a German, I must say this is hilarious. Not wrong, but hilarious. I bet it sounds great when you sing it. I never noticed that when you read the text in an even voice, the grammar becomes wrong, because the pauses and rhythms clarify which words belong together and where the commas are supposed to be, as Germans tend write really long sentences, which only make sense when you put the commas in the right places, of which clearly, Schubert is no exception.

Thank you - this was wonderfully useful and well done!

Thanks for your effort but hey, folks, you’d better listen to true italian native speakers (not those portrayed in the movies, I mean real singers like Renato Bruson). th-cam.com/video/FQCpJQBeAxg/w-d-xo.html Your pronunciation is too far from Italian. To me you sound like any American trying to imitate stereotyped Italians (“you can even shake your fingers…” c’mon!!!!)

Hj! Thank you so much!Could you pronounce Der Nussbaum by Schumman?

Thank you!

Du holde Kunst, in wieviel grauen Stunden, Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt, Hast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb entzunden, Hast mich in eine beßre Welt entrückt, In eine beßre Welt entrückt! Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf entflossen, Ein süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen, Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir dafür, Du holde Kunst, ich danke dir!

Lieber Adam! Nichtsdestotrotz möchte ich Dir danken, dass Du Dich mit der deutschen Sprache befasst! Jedoch hört man noch immer den stark amerikanischen Akzent! Aber trotzdem vielen Dank, dass Du vielen anderen Menschen, mit Diesem Video hilfst! Alles Liebe, Susanne M.

The "-ch" in "mich" isn't usually sung "back in the throat". The "-ch" in "Ach" or "Macht" or "Fach" is the one which is "back in the throat", with the air passing through a narrow space between your soft palatte and the back of your tongue, which you raise to make the space between it and the soft palate short and narrow. In contrast, the "-ch" in "mich" is more forward. It's the front-side of the middle of the tongue, raised so that it is very close to the downward slant of the roof of the mouth - downward as you move from in the highest part of the hard palatte forward toward the back of the front teeth. The consonant is the hiss - almost a whistle - as the air passes forward through the narrow space you allow between the downward-sloping part of the roof of mouth and the forward-middle part of your tongue.

Actually "ti" is not soft and sounds like "di"

Double consonants. Double consonants. And NO dipthong unless it's created with vowels.

Thank you

Nice try. Sounds frightfully English. Don't overlook those double consonants and don't explode the single ones. Make a clean transition from tu to ah, not tu-wah. Let the n of "stancar" go through the nose (sta(ng) car. Keep working at it. Some decoration of the second verse is appropriate.

Thank you! very helpful.

Thanks so much! I waited too long to search for this video, somehow I just doubted one would exist publicly. This was super helpful and straight to the point.

Good, but very americanized German

5:12 自分用

Still very strong American accent...

"not Christ! no t in the end" - lmao - jokes aside, thank you so much!

Geh ich mit freuden --> try to pronounce the é in geh longer, Geeeh. As for the r, it certainly must be pronouced, but as a trilled r, which is difficult for english speakers.

Thank you so much for uploading this video!!

Thanks a lot, this video helps me very much! Keep doing it!

It's pronounced Alt-House. Thanks!

Thanks for you help with the pronunciation. Could you pronounce the "Der Engel" by Wagner? Please.

I don't get the "tua" part

Extremely helpful. Thank you so much.
