Bach - Cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben BWV 147 - Creed | Netherlands Bach Society

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- Bach’s famous chorale 'Jesus bleibet meine Freude', from cantata 'Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben', was first heard when the cantata was performed in Leipzig, on 2 July 1723, for the Feast of the Visitation. It was during Bach’s first months as cantor and he reused music that he had to hand, as he often did. Bach had already written most of BWV 147 in 1716, as an advent cantata for the court chapel in Weimar, but it was only in Leipzig that he added the recitatives with instrumental accompaniment and the well-known chorale. So Bach turned a concise cantata (opening chorus, four arias and probably a simple closing chorale) into a big two-part cantata.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on December 13th 2018 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
The English subtitling for this cantata was sponsored by the American Bach Society. The translation was made by Daniel R. Melamed and Michael Marissen. For an annotated version of the text and translation, see bachcantatatexts.org/BWV147.htm.

If you put the time table with labels (titles) in the _description_ (not in de comment section) and start with 00:00 instead of 0:08 all the pieces will appear in the progressing red bar.
The least you can do if you do not understand this is to pin this comment so it will appear as the first comment.
You're welcome.
Please create sections directly on the video, not in the comments! This would help so much in choosing the tempo or the section of the composition. Thank you!🙏🏻
Can you pin this comment?
Desde Madrid, muchas gracias por esta gran labor divulgativa. Buen trabajo y enhorabuena.
Hi Ms Mac N
my 8 year old daughter wanted me to comment that she thinks this is beautiful music. I agree.
You're raising her right, good job haha
My 8 year old daughter thinks classical music is boring. And for her, "classical music" includes The Rolling Stones.
The best way for a child to appreciate classical music is to play or sing it.
@@chad9015I know why you're here Ramiel.
She has excellent taste. 🙏🏼
Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for showing Your Beauty and your Truth and your Goodness through Bach's music!
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a prolific German composer who in many ways is the father of Western classical music. He was a genius at counterpoint, which means lines of melodies that wind together, creating melody and harmony at the same time.
He wrote 7 sonatas for flute and harpsichord. The harpsichord was a precursor to the piano-but instead of hitting the strings with a hammer, they are plucked. A “sonata” simply means a solo instrument with some kind of accompaniment, and they are one of the most common types of chamber music. 18:55 [Astraios Chamber Music]
I love the Netherlands Bach Society
Who doesn't?
ALLAH..
It would be WRONG (very, very wrong) not to ! This performance, and this project, are wonderful.
So do I...
Moi aussi, avec admiration et reconnaissance
the power of Bach's music is phenomenal. It can rescue you from dark places, indeed. Our species may be rotten, but this... is proof that still, we are part if something higher
well said
Mystery: How does the Netherlands Bach Society retain so many performers of this standard? The challenges in this piece are constant and varied, and all are met with sheer brilliance. Congratulations to you all.
The duets between the oboe and soloists are fantastic. Bravo Martin, Griet and Alex
And they do all of this in such a humble way, no glamour. A great service and treasure for everyone. ❤
Check out BWV 29 - Soprano and oboe, but the whole cantata is pure magic.
Bach konnte seine Musik wohl nie selbst in dieser Brillianz erleben. Er hatte selbst kaum Zugang zu hervorragenden Musikern...
This is a gift to the world.
As a teacher of singing, I would like to compliment the singers in this performance. Exceptionally fine voices, perfectly formed vowels, words that can be understood, excellent intonation, and not a hint of pretentiousness. Unfortunately, many singers we hear performing Baroque and early music are not of this caliber.
Seconded
Bach. The only composer that can make you dance and cry at the same time
Can’t agree more
In terms of harmony, pitch in the range of the major key generally evokes a happy feeling, Bach takes this to the extreme with attention to detail. The result is as an extremely joyful hymn that just makes you want to dance. The second section bounces to the other side of the colour spectrum, evoking a really serious emotion instead, making one lament various things. Each musical technique Bach deploys is carried out to perfection.
As does God and the Christian reality of life.
I totally agree!❤
Our World is so much richer because it was visited by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Beautiful version - brought tears to my eyes.
Wonderful performance of yet another of the many musical miracles by the Master - which I simply cannot get enough of.
Many thanks to the Netherlands Bach Society of musical geniuses and most excellent interpreters of Master genius, Maestro Bach.
I absolutely love their brilliant performances.
More than a maestro, a genius.
@@hippolyteevrard4934 Absolutely! I thank you for alerting me to my typo omission - please note the corrections.
Soli Deo Gloria. 🙏🏼
@@mathieuguillet4036Soli JSBach Gloria.
Bach expresses such inexhaustible joy whose source can only be divine.
As exquisite as this music is, I'd also like to commend the recording engineer here for a masterful job.
Right you are ! It`s a chrystal-clear sound ! Thank you for your comment !
Absolutely. The sound engineering on this channel is absolutely second to none. It’s so clear and yet so full. Comparing the NBS Mass in B minor to Gardiners album version, the NBS has much fuller sound yet just as clear.
Breathtaking, as expected from Netherlands Bach.
I don't go to church, but this music is touching holiness inside me
I feel the same. It makes one wonder were this really comes from. Check out BWV_140.
Making oratorios was for Bach the way of expressing his deep belief in God. For me it is the same while singing it. I may say I'm becoming a beter believer thanks to Bach. And there are even people who say they don't believe in God but they believe in Bach ☺️ well, he was a genius 🙏
I went to church and found this absolutely beautiful music. I will go to church again everytime I might hear something even remotely like this. It is divine. We shall never forget composers like Bach and performers of his music and the power behind all of this.
@@pbrokiI'm a Bach believer.
This has been my favorite Bach Cantata for over 25 years! 😍😍😍😍
I'm not a religious person. But I love that religion spurs artists to create such incredibly complex marvels of beauty. Bach of course is the master of the ear. But I just came from India and I saw the architectural version of what Bach did with music in Humayun's Tomb, an Islamic monument built in the late 1500s. It was conceivably the most well-structured building I have ever beheld. Every single angle was just a wonderful play of light and shadow, all in expertly-carved red sandstone and marble. The marble interior was just as mathematically precise as the exterior, and from every angle in every entrance you took, which was 12. I cried tears of joy when I had been there 4 hours and I saw the sun set, the muezzin call reverberating over the base of this tomb, which was a subtle interpretation of infinity as you went around and around in a circle. No building before or since has made me cry. Bach and the Muslim architect of Humayun's Tomb--true geniuses that married math and beauty together in one resplendent union, all for the glory of God.
Die Musik von Bach und diese Architektur sind zwei Seiten einer Münze. Die Wissenschaft heute kann immer noch nicht den Code entschlüsseln , wie solches erschaffen werden konnte!
Dank sei Gott für Bach und Dank sei der Netherlands Bach Society für diese Aufnahme!
Wunderschön und sauber dargeboten. Habe ich oft gesungen und war nicht einfach. Hier höre ich Herz und Seele, nicht nur Noten. Sehr gut!
Thank you, Nederlands Bach Society, all musicians and singers. Don't recall how many times I listened to this cantata, especially while observing Advent this year. Bless you all and bless your excellent works.
Immer wieder Danke, manches lässt Grenzen verschwunden,die Kantete in dieser Interpretation tut es. Grenzen der Zeit und der Religionen.
¡Que ejecución mas increible de la Cantata 147! ¡Extraordinarios musicos y cantantes! Feliz de haber encontrado este video.
concerto straordinario !! una musicalità toccante grazie all'orchestra, una vocalità entusiasmante grazie al coro e ai cantanti solisti ... riascoltarla per far vibrare le corde emozionali e raggiungere la spiritualità bachiana .... chapeau!!
Merry Christmas and thank you for all the pleasant moments listening to Bach throughout the year!
inderdaad, goed gepost, juiste timing :-) ondanks het feit dat het opgenomen werd twee jaar geleden ;-) toen koorleden en muzikanten nog geen afstand hoefde te houden...
I love those original instruments. I didn't know that "Jesu bleibes meine freunde" was part of this work. What a great bass singer.
Thank you. We can’t thank you enough for having this free to listen to. Family is sitting by the fire, reading, and listening to the beautiful music. Thank you.
Magnifique Cantate 147 de J.S Bach.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE BY NBS FOR YEARS NOW!!! Merry Christmas to meeee! Haha, Merry Christmas to all, may NBS continue to grace us with their amazing works!
same here!
Prachtig *) Dank u wel voor het plaatsen!
On this July 2, 2023, I am delightfully and spiritually listening/watching this wonderful version of BWV 147, two hundred years after it was first heard in Leipzig. Lucky us who have access to modern technology and enjoy the works of the greatest composer. Thank you NBS and TH-cam.
Three hundred years.
La música de Bach es el paraíso en este mundo lleno de tristeza.
Grandioso trabajo el de ustedes. Saludos.
Mr. Sato, as J. S. Bach, is out of this world. Absolutely moving, his rendition.
J'adore le premier choeur de cette merveilleuse Cantate depuis ma toute petite enfance et je l'adore toujours... Quelle musique merveilleuse, merci pour cette belle interprétation, la trompette, vraiment je suis au ciel!🤩
Wonderful. Thank you NBS - and JSB- for lightening the burden of these last few months. Makes me ashamed of Britain’s desire to leave Europe - as if we ever could!
For me, Jesus bleibet meine Freude is one of the moste beautiful tunes in music. Brilliant rendition.
Agreed, absolutely! I regularly get goosebumps every time I hear it. It is inspiring beyond words to describe!!
@@BlueFish-kq9fh I also agree that this one of the most beautiful tunes in music. Mira Hess turned it into a wonderful piano piece.
The chorale melody was written by Johann Schop in 1641 ("Werde munter, mein Gemüthe").
Merry Christmas for everyone from Poland
Merry Christmas from Hawaii
and Merry Christmas everyone from Vancouver, Canada
Merry Christmas from Amsterdam
and from Germany
And from Brazil
Curious about hearing the complete version of Cantata 147, instead of just Jesu, joy of man's desiring all the time, "Schäme dich, o Seele, nicht" really got me fascinated by this great composer. Wonderful that you present this masterpiece in whole, so that we can enjoy it all. 😀👍
Those chorals are just... wow... one of the most beautiful renditions of the most beautiful choral by Bach, Jesu bleibet meine Freude
How can anything, written, played, singed on earth be so heavenly beautiful? A simple question, but I believe if we had the answer, we would not understand it.
The reverberation decay of that room is exquisite
Das schönste Weihnachtsgeschenk!
One of my New Year resolutions is to attend a concert performed by the Netherlands Bach Society. They brought me great comfort during the Lockdown and Work From Home period here in Luxembourg. A period when I couldn´t visit my family in Amsterdam.
15:04 'til the end of the aria makes me smile seeing how Sato takes liberty with BACH. :-) It works when it's done brilliantly & sparingly such as here-near the of the aria. Beautiful NBS!! Thank you!
Lucia Swarts, Siebe Henstra and Guy Cutting at 18:50 !! I´m totally smitten.
God bless Netherlands Bach Society!
Shoutout to Emma Black for her impeccable but humble performance!
This vibrates in my heart and draws tears but of joy
"When words fail, music speaks" (Hans Christian Andersen). The great Bach, one of his finest works, a heartfelt and virtually flawless performance, and a worldwide audience here, united in admiration and love for what music gives us. Goodbye to the old year, a better one awaits.
В наше жесокое время только музыка Баха может сделать нас людьми. С благодарностью ко всем исполнителям Аркадий.
Вы не совсем правы Аркадий. Все мы становимся людьми по факту нашего рождения, но разными, добрыми, либо злыми, либо понемногу и теми и другими, либо никакими. Но музыка призвана доставлять людям эстетическое наслаждение, и напрямую никак не связанатс воспитанием личности человека в духе гуманности, милосердия, и смиренномудрого терпения. Общеизвестны исторические факты, свидетельствующие о том, что в третьем рейхе буквально процветал культ поклонения перед музыкой Вагнера, Моцарта, и Бетховена. Однако смею заметить, что официально одобряемая, и навязываемая силой официальная идеология его была , мягко говоря очень далека от гуманности, и даже более того, именно под сенью национальной немецкой культуры как раз развивалась и расцветала буйным цветом одна из самых человеконенавистнических идеологий 20 века. Так что никак не существует прямой связи между получением эстетического наслаждения от приобщения к высочайшим достижениям мировой культуры и уровнем гуманного развития каждой человеческой личности отдельно. Ведь можно совершенно не любить и не понимать величе музыки Баха, но быть пои этом милосердным, смиренным, добрым, мудрым человеком, и наоборот😮.
Magnífica interpretación de la Cantata BWV 147. Muchas gracias por vuestra profesionalidad, llenáis de espiritualidad cristiana la vida.
This is really great.
The performance of Wohl Mir... (16.09) is about as near perfection as possible, especially considering how well-known it is around the world. I'm so happy I found this amazing group and listen to/watch each video with wonder at the artistry. Thank you! One day I dream of returning to the land of my ancestors to see you in person!
Bachs music is too beautiful to be described by words but you can describe it by playing it
Immer wieder und danke
Sato's violin solo in the soprano aria was inspired and artistic! Bravo!
Marcus Creed ist ein von den allerbesten Dirigenten der Welt.
Mi corazón, mi boca, mis hechos y toda mi vida te alaben, oh Señor Jesús!
Ni siquiera una pequeña gratificación a los técnicos de sonido, músicos i el director? Ni siquiera a Johann Sebastian Bach? Quien fue el mayor músico i compositor de todos los tiempos.
Respeto mucho a la gente creyente, pero actitudes como esta me hacen reafirmarme en mi pensamiento sobre la alineación de los creyentes a la iglesia y sus creencias, sin apreciar lo que hicieron y hacen los humanos en la tierra.
Gloria a Johann Sebastian Bach.
Каждая кантата - как праздник. А если учесть, что их много, праздник может быть бесконечным. Спасибо за неисчерпаемые возможности канала!
Merveilleuse interprétation !
I suppose like many others this is one of my very favourite Cantatas. I watched and listened to this performance with happiness and thanksgiving in the half hour build up to Christmas Day. How wonderfully Alex Potter sang and the power of Matthias Winckhler's voice really impressed.
I do wish that NBS would give the names of the obbligato performers. I really enjoyed the Oboe d'Amore playing in the Arias.
As always excellent playing by the continuo.
What a delightful gift from the NBS. Many thanks to you all.
I wish all of you reading this a joyful Christmas. Greetings again from Port Moresby PNG. :)

A Thousand Thanks for this and a Very Merry Christmas from Yorkshire
This performance floored me. 😢🙏🏻
La perfección en esta Tierra. La grabación es definitiva, el individualismo de los solistas, la entrada de los instrumentos, las caras, el,fervor de la interpretación. La gran arquitectura sonora de Bach y los subtítulos en inglés. Un trabajo muy bello, meditado por las cantatas. Todas ellas son maravillosas. Es el gran descubrimiento en TH-cam de vuestra falange al principio de la pandemia. ❤
Forever grateful for this beautiful rendition! I love the Netherlands Bach Society! Blessings to you all!
Wonderful. It would be great to see the amazing instrumentalists also listed in the credits. Emma Black - goddess of the oboe d’amore!
Agree entirely. And she is as much a goddess of the oboe in the “Jesu Bleibet…” movement. (Where does her breath control come from?)
Matthias Winckhler, bass and the last aria are the best! Just how effortlessly he sings is beyond me..
What a X-mas gift! Thank you NBS!
God this first mvt is such a banger.
Merry Christmas for everyone!
Such a wonderfully sparkling performance. Watching the faces and listening to these sounds is a rewarding start to a New Year, full of uncertainty, and potential! Thank you to each musician!!
Celestiale, pura gioia arriva all'anima, e la pace pervade, oso immaginare schiere di angeli, un velo dorato copra le brutture del mondo e porti pace, salute, amore all'intera umanità. GLORIA A DIO🙏
NBS has grown my love about bachs music and bringing that interpretation at its finest. I wonder what else they can do
C'est déjà pas mal ! (isn't this enough?)
e’ commovente vedere come decine di donne ed uomini si raccolgano attorno ad un organo
per testimoniare la loro dedizione ad un’Arte suprema
fonte di gioia per loro stessi
e per l’umanità tutta....
ad essi va tutta la nostra riconoscenza in questi tempi oscurantisti....
Viva la Musica e le Arti tutte
AD MAIORA

I almost wish you had split that into separate videos so that I could give more thumbs up! Thank you so much for the beautiful music
Absolutely wonderful! The LORD ALMIGHTY be praised for HIS amazing GRACE in CHRIST to a dark and desperately needy world - and HIS gift of J. S. BACH whose musical ministry continues to point us to HIM. Thank you for such a glorious performance.

Diese Gruppe hat die beste Bach Presentation!
147 is my all time favorite cantata and to me this is a fast, beautiful however unspoiled performence. Everyting is in order. I loved it so much. I am melted by the opening corale. Congrats🥰🥀🥀🥀
La perfection sur cette terre, l’ enregistrement est définitif, l ‘Individualisation des solistes , de la venue des instruments , des visages, la ferveur de l ‘ interprétation . Le grand dessein de Bach !! Et les subtiles in english ... Très beau travail , médité sur les Cantates. Elles sont toutes sublimes. Grande découverte sur You Tube de votre phalange au début de la pandémie.
Awesome ! 🎻🎻🎻 Classical music is the true music .
Thank you all of the Netherlands, a beautiful, courageous country. The Bach Society has made my Sunday worship perfect.

pure worldly beauty in these harmonies. I truly feel something about the beauty and creation of all things when I hear this.
