Thanks for the comments on the handwriting. I'm using an inexpensive Lamy italic calligraphy ink pen. A good book on music hand calligraphy is Music Manuscript Techniques: A Programed Approach by Paul Harder. A bit old fashioned....
Merci for this analysis. I was so bad at music all my life I joked with people that I was born with two left ears. Now after my retirement I'm watching this and learning.
Haha - I thought this was going to be "correcting a Bach Chorale exercise" but looking through whilst you were writing I was thinking "it's perfect". Then I realised it was Bach himself 🙈
The Bach Chorales can be found under various publishers and numbering systems. 180 is the BWV number of the cantata. BWV is a cataloguing system of Bach's works from the 20th century: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis At this link you will find the chorale, as you said in F major: imslp.org/wiki/Schm%C3%BCcke_dich%2C_o_liebe_Seele%2C_BWV_180_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian) Other collections such as the one published by Breitkopf and Härtel (1871) list it as #22 and it is in the key of Eb major. Here is a link: imslp.org/wiki/Chorale_Harmonisations%2C_BWV_1-438_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian)
first comment, nice video! here's my music on Spotify; some songs you can hear I was trying to voice lead, but not perfect; videos like this are great for becoming more comfortable
Unfortunately I will have to take this idea and use a different piece to analyse with my year 9 music class because there is no way I will get around the phonetics of the title with the boys in my grade. -sigh- Kids.
No, you are perfectly incorrect. GenerallBass not functional harmony should be used to explain the "how". You delivery is awesome, the substance is however historically not true.,
What is general bass? I've heard that Bach did not conceptualize music in functional harmony. But, I still haven't learned the method he used to do so.

That is one gorgeous handwriting I must say
it's not bad....
Supported by the special pen made particularly for musicians

Thanks for your comment Lawrence. I am pleased that you are finding these videos to be helpful.
Same here. I wish I had you teaching me back in the mid 1970s. Thanks.

To be fair, even Bach does some "mistakes", intentionally or not (eg the Bass can't reach the Eb in the end)
@@Gregggggggggg They used to : in Bach's time voices were a little lower than today. But even today some bass singers can reach the D.
Super Explanition!! Vert Very helpful.
Very good content, TH-cam doesnt has great teachers like you, Thank you!!!
Thank you for your comment!
@@bkehlenb have just found your channel! Pure joy 🥰🥰 - Thank you!
Thank you, great analysis
That was very instructive. Thank you very much!
I'm glad you found this video helpful, Igor.
Thank you!!
Bach was writing music to match string instruments ,that is why they are construted the way they are
That was fun. I'm not as rusty as I thought hehe
Glad you liked the video. It’s just like riding a bicycle - a skill you don’t forget!
How can I find the score of this choral online?
Looks like the publisher made a typo. It's Schmücke, not Schücke.
Gotta use those decorations!
My book lists it as Cant. 180 under the title "Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele" and is in F. How come ?

@@danekokojan3910 The keyword is "Derek Remeš". Go to his website, plenty of good, historically correct info.
Thank you
