Bach - Cantata Meine Seel erhebt den Herren BWV 10 - Creed | Netherlands Bach Society

The cantata 'Meine Seel erhebt den Herren', performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, was written by Bach for the Feast of Visitation on 2 July 1724 in Leipzig. The church reading for that day was the passage from the Gospel of Luke that describes the expectant Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth, who is also expecting. When the two women greet one another, Elizabeth’s baby (who grew up to be John the Baptist) jumps for joy in her belly, as he recognises Jesus in Mary’s belly. Then Mary bursts into what is known as Mary’s hymn of praise, or the Magnificat.
Following a short instrumental introduction, the chorus enters in a joyful chorale. The long lines in the orchestra contrast with the quick, lively parts for the choir, creating an effect of exuberant cheerfulness and energy - also later on, when the roles are reversed. The joyful mood continues in the jumpy, dancy soprano aria. The many leaps automatically suggest the baby’s jumps for joy in Elizabeth’s belly. The quick descending lines in the accompaniment of the virtuoso bass aria (Gewaltig stöβt Gott vom Stuhl) illustrate the words exceptionally well. You hear how God casts down the mighty from their thrones into the Schwefelpfuhl (sulphur pit). The recitative by the tenor (Was Gott den Vätern) and the closing chorus bring peace and contemplation.
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.

My appreciation for such performances of Bach is greater.

[@markbell9973]

We should thank none others than Mary herself, and the evangelist Luke who, I'd like to think, interviewed Mary and persuaded her to tell this important part of what she had "treasured in her heart" about the origins of Jesus's birth thru her good offices. 😀 In other words she was not given vulgarly to blab intimate things to whomever. If she did consent to 'spill the beans' to Luke, I'm sure it helped that he in all things was the "Doubting Thomas," the clinical physician who would have abhored sensationalizing his medical interventions with patients who put their trust in him. So. No theologian and/or philologist I know of can explain conclusively where and how Luke, ever the believing but also the rigorous and messured clinician, got his informaton on this youthful prayer of Mary's. Maybe she had already written it down or had someone perform the service? No matter. It's the content that really matters in 2022. And what content! For one example, first have a good look at the titles of these neatly brief arias. Then take the prophecy that God the Father will [in his own due time]---His generous wheels of historical justice are slow---unseat the psychopath-unethical-cruel political leader. The libretto Bach uses is more playful, in a dark humor kind of way. Namely, said type of leader will be "knocked off his chair." I like to imagine the Dutch and/or German speaking performers getting a devilish little kick at this reformulation of the original wording of the scripture. Gospel to the people!! Like the fully protest-ant (and scrappy boy) Bach was! Alas the matter is anything but playful. Keywords "Ukraine," or "30 Years War" if you prefer. And "nuclear winter." There is much more, and the more incisive the better, to be said of this short but jam-packed prayer of Mary's. Just want to thank the Dutch NBS. For they represent a bullheadedly, freedom-loving and hospitable people if ever there waa one. A Christian people. if some individual does not confess it, or does not even know it, but behaves like Mary or Jesus: Amen! At long last we can look more to what they do than to what they say. Btw, that was just one more teaching by the most radical of them all (in my opinion). Marx's highly professional, painfully detailed analysis of the ravages of money to me is kids' stuff by comparison. "The love of money is the root of all evil" is NOT Kinderkram. Look at evil then follow the money, and "don't cry baby don't cry." (Paul Simon) Yes. This cantata breathes joy, despite the seemingly infinite sadness of the political and psychological pathologies at hand. It's why I stick with the beliefs of so many stubborn, salt of the earth ancestors. Here out in the "Wild West" they too had their share of oppressions, destructive stupidities, loss/grief, ETC. But they also treasured one reason after the other to believe that the darkside doesn't go as far as The Light. And yes they worked hard, played harder all within the basic rules of the God they worshiped. Thank Bach for the same, and for music 110% adequate to the tssk of bolstering proper "belief." Nobody has ever performed that service of encouragemrnt so doggedly but intelligently as he. And I'm.not the only one to think so.

Depois, post 1750, com a morte do grande Thomaskantor, irrompem a ortodoxia e s heterodoxia, verso e reverso da mesma moeda.

honestly I like the version of ton koopman better- trumpet plays a very important roll in bach, this case it is the main theme : Tonus peregrinus well, in ton koopman's version the trumpet pierces through the orchestra and choir. I use this expression: the trumpet in bach is like the ridge of a mountain, it holds everything as it makes it's path, like a leader. in this version I barely hear it.

All of Bach’s music represents The Divine. Would it be possible to have an English translation of the text? Would be great if we could correlate the words with the scriptural Text? This is just a thought.

[@bach]

Recently we started adding subtitles to our recordings bit by bit. It is a time consuming activity and our available time (and money) is limited. Therefore, we give priority to making new recordings. We plan to gradually increase the number of performances with subtitles. We have published English translations for all vocal works on our website (www.bachvereniging.nl/en/allofbach, select a work and go to the tab 'Texts'). In this way it is already possible to read the English translation of each vocal work published on All of Bach.
