Lightning strikes in cantata BWV 214.1 Recitativo

BWV 78 Jesu, der du meine Seele

O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden : BWV 135.6 BWV 153.5 BWV 161.6 BWV 244.15 BWV 244.17 BWV 244.44 BWV 244.54 BWV 244.62 BWV 248.5 BWV 248.64 BWV 270 BWV 271
"My mind is confused,
that makes a virgin tender;
I'm completely lost,
my heart hurts hard.
Have no peace day or night,
always complain loudly,
always sigh and cry,
in a sad state of despair.
Oh, that she would ask me,
what the cause is
why did I complain so much,
I wanted to tell you freely,
that she is the only one
who sees me so wounded,
can I soften her heart,
I'll get well soon.
She is richly decorated,
with beautiful virtue without aim,
polite as she is born,
there are not many like them,
for other virgins tender,
she always leads the price,
when I look at her, I think
I am in paradise." - เพลง
I totally loved your Bach calligraphy videos. Amazingly well made and very intriguing to see how much closer one comes to Bach's intimate practice of score writing, or at least that is how it feels. Amazing.
Thank you for the compliments and your experiences, nice to hear!
@@joostwitte5546 And to add to that, your calligraphy skills are also very good and it shows that you did a lot of study and practice to get to that point and that, combined with your musical insight, is hardly ever seen anymore nowadays. Very, very special (I was pointed to it by an American friend, who told me I would love it, and he was right). En dat kom je ook nog eens uit Harlingen ;) (ik ben opgegroeid in Friesland).
I love your videos. I am sure that each of those who watch your videos appreciate your work a lot. It is so much different than the regular shallow stuff that we are dealing with on daily basis - thank you!
Thank you for your response, I really appreciate your words.
Grazie, è da tanto che non ci vediamo!
Sei il benvenuto!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
That makes my day!
Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome
Very good study material. I’m currently refining my word painting skills!
Good luck with your word paintings!
Love it! Prachtig 👌
Dank je wel voor al je support in ons mooie project!
@@joostwitte5546 Graag gedaan my artist friend
At first I thought it would be better if you interspersed the narrative with examples of the music. Then you did! It was lovely to hear the music whilst watching you write it so beautifully. Btw, what sort of "pen" are you using?
The pen is a swan feather, the paper hemp and rags. Bach used different types of ink, I use black bister here. Similar materials and tools as in the originals. Glad you enjoyed it. For me it's a bit of trying out how to tell a story and convey the experience. In next videos I will make the music sound more., so thanks for the command!
@@joostwitte5546 😂 It’s not a command! 😂 You’ve already found the “wow” formula. Will look forward to the next one. Thank you for the information about the materials you use - absolutely fascinating! Thanks again, Jo
@@JoButterwick Wow, that is really nice to hear!
@@joostwitte5546 I would really like it if your videos opened with a short excerpt of the music you are discussing, then very short excerpts of specific things that are being analysed. For example, 'We walk hastily...' discussed at 3:37 (fortunately, I know the melody of 'Wir eilen' so well that I can hear it in my mind); and the two motifs in the St Matthew Passion discussed at 4:39. Then your wonderful videos would be even more wonderful!
@@melissaraven3164 That's a good idea Melissa, in my new video about the ink that Bach uses I will start with a summary of the content, hopefully that will provide some guidance in the multitude of topics that are covered.
