I hate to be that guy but an e flat is played in the first measure instead of e natural. Nice chorale nevertheless.

This is one of the most comical translations I've ever seen. Is it intentional that the English is so far removed from the original German? I cannot see what state of mind someone would have to be in to translate "Oh God, how much heartache" to "my heartbreak is my load".

Thanks for the video. Is it possible to sing with the video and upload to my channel?
@BachHymnbook17502 ай бұрын
Sure! Just be sure to credit the source of the score as The Bach Hymnbook, and credit the translator for whichever chorale you're singing. The translator is listed in the end credits of each video, and there are different ones for different chorales, so be sure you have the correct one for that chorale. Thanks for your interest in Bach chorales!

@@BachHymnbook1750 Thank you very much. I may sing in German. In that case, it seems no translator credit.

@@gachongeem146 Correct. It would be good form, though, to credit the composer and author of the original German chorale. You can find this information on the Bach Hymnbook website (www.bachhymnbook.org/introduction-page) by clicking on the "See Chorale Scores" circle.

Yes; as is common among hymns, both chorale texts share the same tune. For many more such examples, see the 'Index by Melodic Shape' on the Bach Hymnbook website.

I think if this song is played in e minorband there almost no c major notes there should be two sharp thingies before each line of music notes musical notes
@BachHymnbook17504 ай бұрын
Very observant! Nevertheless, the chorale really is in e minor, hence the one-sharp key signature. The many C#'s you rightly noticed are the legacy of this melody's ancient roots, first as the plainchant "Victimae paschali laudes" (from a thousand [!] years ago), and then from its 1524 adaptation, in the early years of the Reformation, as a chorale, which, like the chant it's based on, was in the dorian mode. For further reading, start with the Wikipedia articles about "Victimae paschali" and "Christ lag in Todesbanden." Check out also Bach Hymnbook 34, "Christ ist erstanden," which is derived from the same plainchant. And thanks for listening, and watching, so intently!
