Today in Music History I learned that Bach wrote a coffee cantata. You learn something new every day :)
When we think about Western music literature, some common misconceptions are that it's serious, elitist and static. Sebastian Bach who is known for composing many brilliant religious music--- is witty with this. He wrote this "Coffee Cantata" in 1730s about a young women's love for coffee. As a result of colonialism, coffee was becoming popular in Europe in the 18th century. There were lots of debates and conflicts surrounding the consumption of coffee at the time. How grand! Thank you for posting this!!!
People forget that classical music was modern music at some point. Wasn't everything commissioned to the pope, sometimes composers just wrote for fun and entertainment. Some of the composers even had rockstar like status. For example the piano is now the symbol of traditionalism. But back in the day when it was the new thing it shaked up the musical world and some of the musicians even got critisism to be too rebellious and sacrilegious
that flute player is a beast!
😂😂😂
Wilbert Hazelzet, possessor of the finest traverso technique of the past forty years.
@@jasonhurd4379 Mindblowingly good flautist!
I have already listened to better flute players. But I have already listened to more challenging arias, too. That is the important point. Please listen to the Cantata BWV 8. This cantata contains an aria of which I do not know the exact title but which is a tremendous challenge for the flutist.
Better flute players? Wow. So dismissive. This is a Traverso... And most modern flute players wouldn't last 2 minutes playing this instrument. It has no mechanical keys and all players are expected to be able to play the instrument in all 12 keys and know all fingerings per each octave. The player, Wilbert Hazelzet is a KNOWN LEGEND the world over who has in his time covered some of the more virtuoso pieces for the traverso.
One often forgets how masterfully written this is, seemingly with one casual stroke of pen. As if he said: yes, I can do this as well my friends
The best interpretation ever, full of charm and creativity. Don't mess with the Dutch when they play Bach!
Koopman and Mertens in particular! Though Harnoncourt is incredible too!
Truth.
They say Bach wrote no operas. but this is basically a miniature comic opera, so he kinda wrote one opera just because he loved coffee.
This was written in the same year that Pergolesi wrote the opera buffa "La Serva Padrona", so it can be looked upon as a German opera buffa, or what German opera buffa would have been like if such a category existed. This soprano wants coffee, but in the Pergolesi piece Uberto wants from Despina something altogether different.
@@murryjcohen I thought La serva is named Serpina? Despina is from Cosi Fan Tutte? Admittedly the same Commedia Delll'arte archetype #sassymaid
@@emily-crawford-soprano9181 You're right of course; my mistake.
@@ivorkvarantan3031 nope
@@ivorkvarantan3031 wow
A common feature of Baroque opera is that some instruments or voices will be inactive for long periods.
For example, this Tenor had PLENTY of time to get torqued on espresso before he was needed again!
My respect for Bach has ascended to the Heavens upon discovering this piece.
So he was such a coffee lover, he wrote a brief opera to pay tribute to it.
If that's true, I'm immensely impressed.
The 'Coffe Cantata' by Bach is considered the first commercial jingle in History.
A Bach's opera ! Sooo perfectly played and sung ! The flutist is amazing.
Totally agree about the flautist (flutist!)
This is not and opera it is a Cantata, Bach never wrote any opera, he wrote both sacred and secular Cantatas.
@@reginaldsawyer2945 I know, but here it looks like an opera.
The flutist is Mr Wilbert Hazelzet.

Thank you!
Thank you!!!
thank you!!!
Where has this version been all my life?
I have been listening to Bach's music for 20+ years and it NEVER gets old and repetitive. This man's creative mind was amazing/beautiful - so glad Shumann noticed.
Shumann? What do you mean?
Every single great noticed. Not just Schumann.
Bach used to jam with his friends at Zimmerman's coffee house. Over the years many famous musicians came to jam at the coffee house and have fun. It is said that Bach composed the cantata as a satire against the Prussian king, Frederick The Great (admirer of Bach) who had forbidden coffee and used coffee smellers to sniff out coffee drinkers.

Thanks carlos wonderful and useful material!
If things like this were taught in school kids might actually enjoy history. Thanks for sharing!
I've listened to JS Bach for decades, and yet I was today years old when I learned of this piece. Light, comedic, and so unlike the stodgy, serious church music I've come to associate with him.
Check out his harpsichord concertos, if you haven't
Serious, no doubt. Stodgy, never.
I am studying cantatas in Music History, and this was mentioned. So hilarious! And so modern. It's hard to believe Bach wrote this.
Not if you are a Lutheran. I'm surprised there isn't a "Potluck Cantata".
@@jeremyglaser5505 And if a Potluck Cantata, why not a Jello Cantata?
@@nathanbetz8 Nope, it would have to be the Hotdish Cantata...
I couldn't believe anybody other than Bach could ever have written it.
There is an unmistakable genius at work in this masterpiece !
It provides work for his family, students and friends
and is probably the first advertisement for a genuinely treasured product
that was actually worth listening to, whilst drinking it.
Agree 100%
Far and away the best ever interpretation of this work ever. Every instrumentalist and singer cannot improve, and the tempi are perfect. True perfection
Absolutely, 100%!
This interpretation is great, but I prefer the one with Harnoncourt.
currently having to listen to this for music class and then write a paper. wish me luck
How did you do?
Yeah...tell us, did you pass?
@@arbierstein I passed!
@@petrlyubomskiy3319 i passed!
@@amberatkins2101 well done!
Coffee just got more fun, and tastier with Bach's cantata. Danke, Jo-Seb!
Jo-Seb XD
Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam. Of Course, every thing he does is first rate. This charming staple of Bach's secular cantata's no exception.
Love the way Koopman plays the continuo in this cantata.
Shout out to the excellent flautist!
No kidding. A real baroque flute without stops!
Mr Wilbert Hazelzet.
There absolutely should be more Bach and classical music performed in the pubs! Classical music in general is too concervative even though many composers were a real humorists! I would enjoy so much listening that while drinking a pint (coffee also of course).
True on both accounts.
It would be wonderful for Classical music to reach more spaces. I would love to have live performance with my drinking 😁

1 Recitative: Schweigt stille (Narrator) 0:00
Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht
Und höret, was itzund geschicht:
Da kömmt Herr Schlendrian
Mit seiner Tochter Liesgen her,
Er brummt ja wie ein Zeidelbär;
Hört selber, was sie ihm getan!
2 Aria: Hat man nicht mit seinen Kindern (Schlendrian) 0:41
Hat man nicht mit seinen Kindern
Hunderttausend Hudelei!
Was ich immer alle Tage
Meiner Tochter Liesgen sage,
Gehet ohne Frucht vorbei.
3 Recitative: Du böses Kind (Schlendrian & Lieschen) 3:33
Bass (Schlendrian): Du böses Kind, du loses Mädchen,
Ach! wenn erlang ich meinen Zweck:
Tu mir den Coffee weg!
4 Aria: Ei! Wie schmeckt der Kaffee süße (Lieschen) 4:09
Sopran (Liesgen): Herr Vater, seid doch nicht so scharf!
Wenn ich des Tages nicht dreimal
Mein Schälchen Coffee trinken darf,
So werd ich ja zu meiner Qual
Wie ein verdorrtes Ziegenbrätchen.
Ei! wie schmeckt der Coffee süsse,
Lieblicher als tausend Küsse,
Milder als Muskatenwein.
Coffee, Coffee muss ich haben,
Und wenn jemand mich will laben,
Ach, so schenkt mir Coffee ein!
5 Recitative: Wenn du mir nicht den Kaffee läßt (Schlendrian & Lieschen) 8:42
Bass (Schlendrian): Wenn du mir nicht den Coffee lässt,
So sollst du auf kein Hochzeitfest,
Auch nicht spazierengehn.
Sopran (Liesgen): Ach ja!
Nur lasset mir den Coffee da!
Bass (Schlendrian): Da hab ich nun den kleinen Affen!
Ich will dir keinen Fischbeinrock nach itzger Weite schaffen.
Sopran (Liesgen): Ich kann mich leicht darzu verstehn.
Bass (Schlendrian): Du sollst nicht an das Fenster treten
Und keinen sehn vorübergehn!
Sopran (Liesgen): Auch dieses; doch seid nur gebeten
Und lasset mir den Coffee stehn!
Bass (Schlendrian): Du sollst auch nicht von meiner Hand
Ein silbern oder goldnes Band
Auf deine Haube kriegen!
Sopran (Liesgen): Ja, ja! nur lasst mir mein Vergnügen!
Bass (Schlendrian): Du loses Liesgen du,
So gibst du mir denn alles zu?
6 Aria: Mädchen, die von harten Sinnen (Schlendrian) 9:57
Mädchen, die von harten Sinnen,
Sind nicht leichte zu gewinnen.
Doch trifft man den rechten Ort,
O! so kömmt man glücklich fort.
7 Recitative: Nun folge, was dein Vater spricht! (Schlendrian & Lieschen) 12:22
Bass (Schlendrian): Nun folge, was dein Vater spricht!
Sopran (Liesgen): In allem, nur den Coffee nicht.
Bass (Schlendrian): Wohlan! so musst du dich bequemen,
Auch niemals einen Mann zu nehmen.
8 Aria: Heute noch, lieber Vater (Lieschen) 13:11
Sopran (Liesgen): Ach ja! Herr Vater, einen Mann!
Bass (Schlendrian): Ich schwöre, dass es nicht geschicht.
Sopran (Liesgen): Bis ich den Coffee lassen kann?
Nun! Coffee, bleib nur immer liegen!
Herr Vater, hört, ich trinke keinen nicht.
Bass (Schlendrian): So sollst du endlich einen kriegen!
Sopran (Liesgen):
Heute noch,
Lieber Vater, tut es doch!
Ach, ein Mann!
Wahrlich, dieser steht mir an!
Wenn es sich doch balde fügte,
Dass ich endlich vor Coffee,
Eh ich noch zu Bette geh,
Einen wackern Liebsten kriegte!
9 Recitative: Nun geht und sucht der alte Schlendrian (Narrator) 19:36
Nun geht und sucht der alte Schlendrian,
Wie er vor seine Tochter Liesgen
Bald einen Mann verschaffen kann;
Doch, Liesgen streuet heimlich aus:
Kein Freier komm mir in das Haus,
Er hab es mir denn selbst versprochen
Und rück es auch der Ehestiftung ein,
Dass mir erlaubet möge sein,
Den Coffee, wenn ich will, zu kochen.
10 Trio: Die Katze läßt das Mausen nicht 20:21
Die Katze lässt das Mausen nicht,
Die Jungfern bleiben Coffeeschwestern.
Die Mutter liebt den Coffeebrauch,
Die Grossmama trank solchen auch,
Wer will nun auf die Töchter lästern!
Vielen Dank!
Danke schon!
merci !
This piece but a different recording was in my parent’s record collection growing up and I discovered it in high school, sandwiched between folk singers etc. By that time, no one else was listening to it, so when no one was home in the afternoons, I’d play it full volume. Grand.
Super delightful! Doch erstaunlich !
So she is a parrot in a human's body my God I'm blown away I love her voice
And recorded in an actual coffee house! *Bravi*!
Tutti i musicisti, i cantanti sono fantastici!
Grazie mille!💮💖👏👏👏
C'est trop beau.. On est complètement transporté ...Merci infiniment Cordialement
Il video, si commenta da se.
Complimenti 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why am i in love with the final trio from my younghood onwards. 🥰💙
Exzellent! Die Solisten sind (alle drei!) unerwartet klar und durchgehend stark bei Stimme. Ein Vergnügen! Über T.K. und die Musiker brauche ich kein Wort zu verlieren.
This came up in my Music Appreciation lessons and man did I get a giggle!
It’s incredibly beautiful 😍
Best! Absolutely thrilling and charming!
이 아름다운 곡을 한자리에서 전 곡을 다 듣게 해주셔서 감사합니다.
커피 사랑은 예전이나 지금이나 마찬가지네요~^^
Stupendo questo Bach "spiritoso"! Un divertissement che solo un genio come lui poteva elevare al grado di capolavoro. Sì, è vero - come dice GD Dyno - bisogna bere una tazza di ottimo caffè mentre si ascolta questa deliziosa, finissima musica. L'effetto è magnifico!...
Beautiful! Thank you for posting!
Because of this kind of TH-cam video I wish I was alive in Bach's time so I could hear this in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig.
As this is a secular cantata, you wouldn't have heard it in a church. You would have to go to Zimmermann's coffee house a few streets away from Thomaskirche.
@@occultured9722 D'oh! You're absolutely right! Let's go to Zimmermann's! Thanks for the correction.
Semplicemente Bach e l'aroma del caffè
As others have discussed in this thread, for all practical purposes the Coffee Cantata is comic opera. But I submit that furthermore it's essentially advertising for the local coffee house (Café Zimmermann in Leipzig).
Classical music is just genius
"...But Liesgen secretly makes known:
No suitor come into my house
Unless he's made to me the promise
And put it in the marriage contract, too,
That I shall be allowed to brew,
Whenever I desire, my coffee."
The main source of friction in that household comes from who drank the last of the coffee and didn't make a fresh pot!
What?! You mean that strong-willed daughters are not just an invention of our age?!
Just watched this performed by the Yorkshire Baroque Soloists as part of the York Early Music Festival - I'd never come across the piece before, really good fun!
Que joya! un verdadero obsequio de Bach para el mundo, y el señor Koopmann soberbio!
When u studying Bach's cantatas for ur upcoming music exam, suddenly found such a cute piece while doing research, and want to go to a coffee house like right now... :( Tbh, I rly should find someone to learn this cantata together later when I've got some time.
I know, how fun would it be to get like, a couple friends together and perform these pieces together. That'd be a blast!
Noah Abel Exactly!!

Polish text:
Uciszcie się, nie gadajcie (BWV 211)
Uciszcie się, nie gadajcie,
A co stanie się, słuchajcie:
Pan Schlendrian nadchodzi tu,
Z córką swoją Liesgen kroczy;
Ależ, jak ten niedźwiedź, mruczy.
Słuchajcie, co zrobiła mu.
Człek ma toć ze swymi dziećmi
Sto tysięcy utrapień!
Bezowocnie spływa bowiem
Co mej córce Liesgen powiem,
Choć powtarzam to co.dzień.
Schlendrian
Złe dziecię, dziewczyno pusta,
Ach, kiedyż ja wygram mą sprawę:
Rzuć ty wreszcie precz tę kawę!
Liesgen
Nie bądź ojcze tak surowy.
Jeśli nie wypiję co dzień
Trzech filiżaneczek kawy,
To zostanie ze mnie cień,
Wiór, jak z kozy pieczeń sucha.
Oj, jak smaczna kawa słodka.
Niż całusów tysiąc milsza,
Niż muszkatołowe wino.
Kawę, kawę muszę ja pić,
A kto chce mnie czym pokrzepić,
Niech kawy naleje jeno!
Schlendrian
Jeśli mi nie rzucisz kawy,
To nie będziesz na zabawy,
Ani też na spacer chodzić.
Liesgen
Zgoda!
Byłem tylko kawę miała.
Schlendrian
Ależ głuptas z mej córeczki!
Nie sprawię ci na fiszbinach
Rozszerzanej sukieneczki.
Liesgen
Łatwo na to ja przystanę.
Schlendrian
Nie będziesz mogła w oknie stać
By z przechodniów mieć zabawę!
Liesgen
To też, lecz daj się ubłagać
I pozostaw mi mą kawę!
Schlendrian
Nie dostaniesz też z mej ręki
Ni srebrnej, ni złotej wstęgi
By czepek przyozdobić!
Liesgen
Dobrze, byłem sobie kawę mogła robić.
Schlendrian
Ach ty płocha Liesgen, ty,
Przystaniesz na wszystko li?
Schlendrian
Dziewcząt co są uparte tak
Nie łatwo jest przemóc. Wszak
Gdy jej miejsce czułe znasz
Łatwo już ją przekonasz.
Schlendrian
Bądź ojcu swemu posłuszną!
Liesgen
We wszystkim, ale nie z kawą.
Schlendrian
Więc się musisz i z tym zgodzić:
Nigdy za mąż nie wychodzić.
Liesgen
Panie ojcze! Męża toć chcę!
Schlendrian
Klnę się, nie ma o tym mowy.
Liesgen
Póki kawy nie porzucę?
Ach, kawo! Na zawsze żegnaj mi!
Panie ojcze, odtąd nie tknę już kawy.
Schlendrian
Wreszcie; więc męża poszukam ci!
Jeszcze dziś
Drogi ojcze, zechciej iść!
Mąż, ach mąż!
Przed oczami stoi wciąż!
Oby rzecz się szybko działa,
Bym, gdy kawę ja odłożę,
Jeszcze nim się spać położę
Dziarskiego męża dostała!
Chodzi i szuka teraz Schlendrian stary
Jakby swojej córce Liesgen
Rychło męża dać do pary;
Lecz Liesgen skrycie głosi wszędzie:
Zalotnik żaden w dom nie wejdzie,
Zanim sam tego nie przyrzecze
I bym też w kontrakcie ślubnym miała,
Że mi dozwoli, gdy będę chciała,
Bym kawę sobie gotowała.
Kot nie da spokoju myszy,
Panny zaś będą przy kawie trwać.
Skoro mama kawę znała,
Babcia także ją pijała,
Któż córki zechce więc oczerniać.
….
Em poucos minutos encontramos muito mais música do que em certas operas com 4 horas de duração! Gênio é genio.
rip coffee cup :(
SEHR nett und witzig inziniert und mit original Instrumenten! Historiscje Hintergründe, in Kürze mir Keywords, Türkrn dtanden vor Wien hatten die Kaffeehhauskultur nsch Wien gebracht u.s.w
This was so delightful.
Wonderful performance
"I don't like coffee"
**several people are typing...**
I don't like coffee either XD
The 33 dislikes are all from coffee-haters.
Воистину прекрасное исполнение и игра! Я кайфую)
I learned of this from my nephew, and could not be more pleased, without coffee of course
Incredible! Beautifully done, thank you
How disappointing that NONE of the instrumentalists (except Koopman, of course) are named in the credits. The flutist is a master. No acknowledgment? Very disappointing. If anyone knows the flutist's name or any of the instrumentalists, please reply!
It’s Wilbert Hazelzet!
Nice treat on World Coffee Day! I can give up coffee for JSB 's music! Enjoyable performance! You can have your coffee and drink it too......
아름다운 사람들 ㅡ 소박한 공간에 가득찬 화려한 목소리
My heart😍💘💘💘 watching from the Philippines
I stumbled upon Bach’s operetta on the May 2022 lunar eclipse - all shall be well!
I think Johann would have totally approved of this.
13:11 musical perfection
Best recording.
Does anyone else jumps every time they smash the coffee cup 😂😂 i love this version, as well as Christopher Hogwood's one with Emma Kirkby ❤
I love that coffee caresses my soul ☕
This is delightful!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Que bestia. El PADRE de la música
drinking coffee while watching... mmmhhh
Nice and enjoyable, thank you for sharing!
An acted cantata. This shows us, perhaps, that Bach could compose an opera.
Marvelous! The performance was extraordinary as well!
4:20 : this is the remarkable flutist Mr Wilbert Hazelzet.
Oh how great is that! Amazing :D
Imagine to have a where discussion with your father just because you wanna coffee
Yes, im having the argument with my dad right now, i use this music video for ammunition... lol
only watching for my college cuz this counts as a live concert
Same
Then you are the poorer for your myopia. Dig it, guys!
Bravo!
Bach in the galant style.
Hahahaa, coffee or husband, father? Oh but I love coffee too.. Hmm. Husband then..? 😊❤
I hat zung thus im meine past in uni, guten recordings... Unt i liebe coffee
Wunderbar, danke schon!!
Fantastisch!
Gimmick pop songs began a lot earlier than we'd like to think.
Лучшее исполнение!..
GENIUS!!
Remember, it must be brewed with exactly 60 beans to be perfect.
enjoy a cuppa joe with a cuppa Johann
Who is the flautist, he is wonderful?
Schledrian when holding the book in his bass aria was actually reading form the notations
19:41 Was Liesgen trying to hook up with the harpsichordist? Was the harpsichordist actually mad when the father interjected it? Dang!
Difference between an opera and a cantata is that an opera has a stage, costume and acting.
Ah, but this wonderful confection had all three!
bellissima
Wow what a collection of humans
Wunderschöne Aufnahme !
This cantata was rather popular and seen as an attack on King Frederick the Great who actually tried to ban coffee in Prussia. He eventually issued this following decree on September 13, 1777:
"It is disgusting to notice the increase in the quantity of coffee used by my subjects, and the amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. If possible, this must be prevented. My people must drink beer. His Majesty was brought up on beer, and so were his ancestors, and his officers. Many battles have been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer; and the King does not believe that coffee-drinking soldiers can be depended upon to endure hardship or to beat his enemies in case of the occurrence of another war."
And then he hired about 400 retired soldiers as "coffee sniffers" to enforce the ban.
Needless to say his obstinate subjects regularly laughed them out of town and as a result the coffee consumption quadrupled across the kingdom.
Bach historians have suggested that Bach would drink around 32 cups of coffee per day. I guess its no wonder he was a machine who would write and compose pieces every waking hour. And after 32 cups per day, I'm sure he was awake for more hours to compose than most. 😂
He also fathered twenty children.
