  • In Bach’s day, drinking coffee was certainly not without controversy. The text in this Kaffeekantate 'Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht', here performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, tells of a girl who is addicted and of women who know their own mind, and sexual innuendo is never far away. If Bach had written an opera, then it could have looked like this.
    Recorded for the project All of Bach on 17th May 2019 at Radio Kootwijk. This recording was made possible by the support of the Eleven Floawers Foundation. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

A lot of it probably down to what we'd now call childhood trauma etcetc - a lot of people don't actually notice that Bach's life context apart from his music - makes for great reading and personal research!!!! Definitely doesn't make him any less of a genius, but actually most geniuses (especially creative geniuses like Bach himself) were not normal people, think Beethoven and his anger, Mozart and his excessive pretentiousness (is that a word? haha)... regarding 9:16 I would really like to know what Bach would have thought of it, seeing as it is undoubtedly an example of vocal mastery, and Bach is all for mastery of your instrument (inlcuiding the voice as an instrument) the kind of arias he writes attests to this!!! :)

    Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht
    Keep quiet, don’t chatter
    Und höret, was itzund geschicht:
    and hear what’s going on now:
    Da kömmt Herr Schlendrian
    here comes Herr Schlendrian
    Mit seiner Tochter Liesgen her,
    with his daughter Liesgen
    Er brummt ja wie ein Zeidelbär;
    he’s growling like a honey-bear -
    Hört selber, was sie ihm getan!
    hear for yourselves what she has done to him.

    Hunderttausend Hudelei!
    a hundred thousand muddles !
    Was ich immer alle Tage
    What always every day I
    Meiner Tochter Liesgen sage,
    say to my daughter Liesgen
    Gehet ohne Frucht vorbei.

    Oh! If only I could have my way :
    Tu mir den Coffee weg!
    get rid of coffee!
    Liesgen:
    Herr Vater, seid doch nicht so scharf!
    Father, don’t be so hard!
    Wenn ich des Tages nicht dreimal
    If three times a day I can’t
    Mein Schälchen Coffee trinken darf,
    drink my little cup of coffee,
    So werd ich ja zu meiner Qual
    then I would become so upset
    Wie ein verdorrtes Ziegenbrätchen
    that I would be like dried up piece of roast goat.

    Aria: Liesgen [Soprano]
    Flauto traverso, Continuo
    Ei! wie schmeckt der Coffee süße,
    Ah! how sweet coffee tastes!
    Lieblicher als tausend Küsse,
    Lovelier than a thousand kisses,
    Milder als Muskatenwein.
    smoother than muscatel wine.
    Coffee, Coffee muss ich haben,
    Coffee, I must have coffee,
    Und wenn jemand mich will laben,
    and if anyone wants to give me a treat,
    Ach, so schenkt mir Coffee ein!

    Auch nicht spazierengehn.
    and you won’t go out walking either.

    Alright then !
    Nur lasset mir den Coffee da!

    Ich will dir keinen Fischbeinrock nach itzger Weite schaffen.
    I shan’t get you the latest fashion in just your size.
    Liesgen:
    Ich kann mich leicht darzu verstehn.
    I can easily do without that.

    Du sollst nicht an das Fenster treten
    You’re not to stand at the window
    Und keinen sehn vorübergehn!
    and you won’t see anyone going by!

    Auch dieses; doch seid nur gebeten
    I don’t mind that either; but please , I beg you,
    Und lasset mir den Coffee stehn!
    just let me keep my coffee!
    Schlendrian:
    Du sollst auch nicht von meiner Hand

    Ein silbern oder goldnes Band
    a silver or gold ribbon
    Auf deine Haube kriegen!
    to put on your bonnet!

    Schlendrian:
    Wohlan! so musst du dich bequemen,
    Well then! You must get used to the idea
    Auch niemals einen Mann zu nehmen.
    that you won’t have a husband either.

    Ach, ein Mann!
    Ah, a husband!
    Wahrlich, dieser steht mir an!
    That’s just right for me!
    Wenn es sich doch balde fügte,
    If only it could happen at once,
    Dass ich endlich vor Coffee,
    so that at last instead of coffee
    Eh ich noch zu Bette geh,
    before I go to bed
    Einen wackern Liebsten kriegte!
    I could get a lusty lover!

    Nun geht und sucht der alte Schlendrian,

    Wie er vor seine Tochter Liesgen
    for his daughter Liesgen
    Bald einen Mann verschaffen kann;
    to see if he can get her a husband soon.
    Doch, Liesgen streuet heimlich aus:
    But Liesgen lets it be secretly known:
    Kein Freier komm mir in das Haus,
    no suitor of mine should come to the house
    Er hab es mir denn selbst versprochen
    unless he himself has promised
    Und rück es auch der Ehestiftung ein,
    and it is written also in the marriage contract
    Dass mir erlaubet möge sein,
    that I shall be permitted
    Den Coffee, wenn ich will, zu kochen.
    to make coffee whenever I want.

      Aber die Musik steht auf Lieschens Seite. Vergleicht man die erste Arie des Vaters mit der seiner Tochter, so merkt man schon: Der Vater ist eine sture, dumme Spassbremse. Seine Melodie(n) sind einfacher, eben phantasielos wie er selbst. Lieschens Melodien lassen deutlich italienischen Einfluss erkennen. Schlendrian bleibt melodisch im Mustopf. So wird auch musikalisch gezeigt welche Macht Töchter manchmal über ihre Väter haben. Ich würde mir bloß wünschen der Schlendrian hätte hier das gleiche künstlerische Niveau wie das Lieschen. Zur Zeit, in der die Kantate entstand, galt Kaffee als Droge. In Leipzig wurden Männer in die Stadt geschickt, die die "Drogen" aufstöbern sollten. Aber wie versöhnlich ist hier die Schlussfuge.

    • @feuersalamander8331
      @feuersalamander8331 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@hans-jorgrechtsteiner1070 Zunächst muss ich ein Missverständnis klären. Ich meinte nicht, dass die Rolle des Schlendrians von musikalisch minderwertiger Qualität ist. Mit der Spassbremse habe ich mich zu unpräzise ausgedrückt. Ein Mensch der in Konventionen eingezwängt ist wäre genauer. Es ist natürlich unüberhörbar wie bereits in der ersten Arie der Charakter des Schlendrian dargestellt wird. In dem Rythmus ist ein Stampfen erkennbar. Bach stellt musikalisch dar: Schlendrian steht auf verlorenem Posten. Daher muss er ihn weniger brilliante Melodien singen lassen. Ich bin mir allerdings nicht mehr so ganz sicher ob es die Absicht von Bach war, ein schlichtes Gemüht darzustellen. Vielleicht rührt das konventionelle bei Schlendrian auch daher, das Lieschen in ihrem "Drogenrausch" eine verzehrte Wahrnehmung hat. Wir nehmen also Lieschens Standpunkt ein. Was den Schluss angeht habe ich zwei Thesen. Entweder: Den Kaffe als Droge zu betrachten heißt, das Kind mit dem Bade auszuschütten. Man sollte eher auf die Vernunft und Autonomie des Menschen setzen. Eine aufklärusche Ansicht. Lieschens wirkt ja selber darauf hin Kaffe konsumieren zu dürfen. Oder: Als Lieschen heiratet sind ihr die Schwächen erlaubt. Das heisst also Schlendrians Sinneswandel rührt daher das mit der Heirat ein Mann Lieschens zukünftiges Leben bestimmt. Man unterstellte damals Frauen einen angeborenen moralischen Wankelmut. Vielleicht ist es so einfach. Oder es ist eine Mischung aus entweder und oder. Mir fällt übrigens ein weiteres Beispiel in diesem Zusammenhang ein. Ein Beispiel für ungleiche Gegner, nämlich im Fliegenden Holländer. Die Norweger provozieren die Holländer. .Die Stelle ist am Anfang des 3.Aktes. Hier zeigt Wagner die Norweger haben zwar kampfeslustig provoziert, dem Fluch des Holländers sind sie aber nicht gewachsen. Die Norweger haben einfachere konventionellere Harmonien. Bei den Holländern zeigt Wagner musikalisch, dass ein Fluch mit im Bunde ist durch gewagte Harmonien. Auch hier singt die Norwegerbesatzumg keinen musikalischen Müll. Das konnten Komponisten dieses Formats vielleicht gar nicht komponieren. In ausgeschlafenen Zustand sehe ich manches anders. Aber ich glaube die Kantate war; wie meistens im der damaligen Zeit, ein Auftragswerk. Blos von wem stammt der Auftrag.

      Bach may have had been a very caring father, but alas it wasn't enough. He was known for being a very harsh man - and clearly not someone you wanted to cross. His love for his children could not keep them from dying or going astray.
      Then again, he lived in the bad old 18th century, when Europe was only just beginning to realise the value of science and technology, the which had been used to improve gunpowder weapons through trial and error by the European "warfare state" for almost five centuries.

    You should allow community contribution to add subtitles and translations. I’d be glad to participate.
    These gems cantatas and passions by Bach are so much more enjoyable when one can follow along the text.
    The text is brought to life by the music, and the meaning reinforce the music.
    I went to listen to St John and St Matthew passions a few times in the local concert hall, and the experience with the surtitles and without is without comparison.
    You understand the sorrow of Mary, Jesus speaking to the crowd. It’s unfathomably touching and beautiful.
    Bach brought to these stories something no one had been able to before him.
    And one really misses out when there is no text to follow along.
