This song might as well be exactly 300 years old. J.S. Bach your music lives on!

[@gervaisfrykman266]

This must be one of JSB's most approachable cantatas. Beautiful performance.

[@genetunnney]

First performed 300 years ago today.

[@chabar3419]

our lord jesus, you shall be praised forever.
and jubilated when you finally bring the kingdom of god.
every day, lord, I knee down because there is nothing more powerful.
you are life and eternal mercy.

I was curious where the picture came from. It's a stained glass window in the St Thomas church: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomaskirche_(Leipzig)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@nalanda1tachseela2]

Jesu, nun sei gepreiset
Zu diesem neuen Jahr
Für dein Güt, uns beweiset
In aller Not und G'fahr,
Dass wir haben erlebet
Die neu fröhliche Zeit,
Die voller Gnaden schwebet
Und ewger Seligkeit;
Dass wir in guter Stille
Das alt Jahr habn erfüllet.
Wir wolln uns dir ergeben
Itzund und immerdar,
Behüte Leib, Seel und Leben
Hinfort durchs ganze Jahr!
Gesù, ora ti glorifichiamo
in questo nuovo anno
per la bontà che ci dimostri
soccorrendoci in ogni bisogno e pericolo,
perché ci fai essere testimoni
di questo nuovo tempo di gioia,
ricolmandoci di grazia
e di felicità eterna;
e per aver fatto serenamente
concludere il vecchio anno.
Noi ci rimettiamo a te,
adesso e sempre,
proteggi i nostri corpi, le nostre anime,
le nostre vite, durante questo anno!

Okay

[@engobeats]

Well, I recommend BWV 41

[@engobeats]

And BWV 97

[@channelelectronique]

I could not find the meaning of "gepreiset". What does the title mean?

[@TomPls]

I believe it would be "praised"

[@keithjones5700]

Title means 'Let Jesus now be praised' - preisen (verb) = praise

[@1ShadowInTheDark]

actually, real german would be "gepriesen"

[@TomPls]

1ShadowInTheDark I assume there might be some difference between German grammar in the Bach-era german and modern german.

[@jaikee9477]

"Gepreiset" actually is real German, spoken 300 years ago, and I would argue that we spoke much more eloquently back then.

[@rickmarti77]

Welcome and blessings to everyone else who isn't in the Lord Jesus Christ fan club. 2015

[@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

Anyone who does not love Christ is not blessed, but rather cursed. May we pray first of all this blessing on unbelievers: that they recieve salvation by grace through faith from Jesus Christ.

IL BALLERINO CON TANTA FURIA...PERCHE' BISOGNA FAR PRESTO...

[@stephenkunst7550]

Shame the soloists had to warble

[@AndrewMarks-jv6ti]

Vibrato was considered an ornament in Bach's time, reserved for long notes, rather than for dramatic effect. The vocalists' performance here is well within the boundaries of good taste and Historically Informed Performance.

[@mariacristinagarulli4831]

PESSIMO...
