Bach - Cantata Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan BWV 100 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society

When Bach used the chorale text for 'Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan’, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, for the second time he took a completely different approach to his cantata of the same name from ten years earlier (BWV 99). He lent extra festivity to the instrumentation of that version (flute, oboe d’amore, horn, strings and basso continuo) by adding a second horn and timpani.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on February 7th 2015 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

[@stufarnham]

A favorite cantata. The duet to between Damon Guillen and Charles Daniels was lovely. In watching the soprano aria it occurred to me that some singers are very outwardly expressive (Maria Keohane comes to mind) where others turn their focus inward to find their expression. Without much opportunity to see live performances where I live I appreciate watching the very human expression found in these films. Oh, I would be remiss in failing to note Peter Kooj’s performance. Always a joy. The interplay between the oboe and the alto in the final aria is beautifully wrought by Bach and beautifully rendered. The chorale is a fine bookend with the opening concerto.Thanks to the entire ensemble for a marvelous performance! Stu

Durant ce confinement , la NBS nous aidé à survivre . Jour après jour l'oeuvre de Bach nous a soutenu , consolé , exalté tour à tour ! Cette cantate nous rappelle que l'histoire des hommes est entre les mains d'une force plus haute , que certains appelle Dieu , d'autres Destin ou Fatalité. Ce que fait l'Être suprême est-il bien fait , comme le clame cette cantate ? En tous cas les épreuves auxquelles nous sommes confrontés doivent nous aider à prendre la chemin de la lumière, cette lumière qui nous éblouit dans l'oeuvre de Bach. La NBS nous livre ici une version très intense de la cantate BWV 100. Je dédie cette magnifique page à Laurent qui vient de nous quitter.

9 pm on a Monday evening here in PNG and yet again the NBS produces another miracle in this performance of BWV 100. There is excellent ensemble work here and in each of the six movements delights to be found. This makes my enforced stay here in Port Moresby a little more bearable and no doubt I'll be looking for more new productions from my friends in the Netherlands. Thank you NBS.

I am a fan/admirer of you Oboist. He does a lot of Bach; I am always pleased when I see him as part of the instrumentalists. 1. Perhaps you might recognize key instrumentalists? and 2. It was gratifying to see the Oboist to have some enjoyment and pleasure in performing this piece. Thank you Netherlands Bach Society for all the wonderful music you provide for our enjoyment.

[@andrewhale337]

Der Oboist ist Martin Stadler. Der 1.Horn ist vermutlich Bart Aerbeydt

[@glynmarillier8501]

Martin Stadler is among my favourite players in this wonderful ensemble. I too, always enjoy seeing his whole approach, his commitment, his professionalism together with his obvious sensitivity to his role in helping express the text. "Superb" is praise too faint for him.

Oh il caro nostro Bach ha composto tre cantate BWV 98, 99 e 100 con lo stesso titolo Ha preso pure lo stesso coro della 99 per il coro di apertura della 100, ha solo cambiato la strumentazione; inoltre il coro finale è preso da BWV 75 (cambia la strumentazione, piu' ampia) Il duetto e pure le arie sono veramente belli, in particolare l'accompagnamento Penso richiedano una bravura inusuale per strumentisti E' bello poterla ascoltare in questa interpretazione Grazie!

BWV 100 - "Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan" III Cantata for Various Church Occasions 1. Chor Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Es bleibt gerecht sein Wille; Wie er fängt meine Sachen an, Will ich ihm halten stille. Er ist mein Gott, Der in der Not Mich wohl weiß zu erhalten; Drum laß ich ihn nur walten. 1. Chorale What God does is well done, His will remains righteous; however he begins my affairs, I will silently keep to Him. He is my God, who in need knows well how to sustain me; therefore I let Him alone rule. 2. Arie (Duett) A T Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Er wird mich nicht betrügen, Er führet mich auf rechter Bahn, So laß ich mich begnügen An seiner Huld Und hab Geduld, Er wird mein Unglück wenden, Es steht in seinen Händen. 2. Aria (Duet) A T What God does is well done, He will not delude me, He leads me on the right path, therefore I allow myself to enjoy God's mercy and have patience; He will turn aside my misfortune, it is in His hands. 3. Arie S Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Er wird mich wohl bedenken; Er, als mein Arzt und Wundermann, Wird mir nicht Gift einschenken Vor Arzenei, Gott ist getreu, Drum will ich auf ihn bauen Und seiner Gnade trauen. 3. Aria S What God does is well done, He will think well upon me; He, as my doctor and miracle-worker, will not offer me poison for medicine, God is faithful, therefore I will rely on him and trust in His grace. 4. Arie B Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Er ist mein Licht, mein Leben, Der mir nichts Böses gönnen kann, Ich will mich ihm ergeben In Freud und Leid! Es kommt die Zeit, Da öffentlich erscheinet, Wie treulich er es meinet. 4. Aria B What God does is well done, He is my light, my life, who cannot offer me evil, I will give myself to Him in joy and sorrow! The time will come, when it will be apparent how loving is His intention. 5. Arie A Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Muß ich den Kelch gleich schmecken, Der bitter ist nach meinem Wahn, Laß ich mich doch nicht schrecken, Weil doch zuletzt Ich werd ergötzt Mit süßem Trost im Herzen; Da weichen alle Schmerzen. 5. Aria A What God does is well done, even if I must taste the cup that is bitter to my perception, I will not let myself be frightened, since in the end I will be delighted with sweet comfort in my heart; then all pains will cease. 6. Choral Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan, Dabei will ich verbleiben. Es mag mich auf die rauhe Bahn Not, Tod und Elend treiben, So wird Gott mich Ganz väterlich In seinen Armen halten; Drum laß ich ihn nur walten. 6. Chorale What God does, is well done, I will cling to this. Along the harsh path trouble, death and misery may drive me. Yet God will, just like a father, hold me in His arms: therefore I let Him alone rule.

[@jakobler3474]

@Netherlands Bach Society Why do you pick (always, apparently) men as altos? I mean, if it was only due to historical correctness, you may also not allow women to sing soprano, so, it's more like a "sex compromise"? I'd like to hear some female altos as well in your next videos. In my opinion, both - (grown) men's AND women's voices - can contribute equally to the great work you do interpreting Bach's music on such a high level.

[@pamelafrancis4476]

There are many gifted singers of course. I suspect the choice is made from purely on artistic grounds, the strength, timbre etc of each voice taking into account the composer's directions and historical context.

[@emke5664]

Holzblaeser 😄👍

[@Lampenmensch]

Fantastic music, I suppose - but I can only hear the harpsichord... What a shame for the balance.

[@Iceologer]

Its like Bach was lazy to write more and just named the entire piece even the lyrics "Was gott tut, das ist wohlgetan"

[@SeanChay]

A bit similar to BWV 117, from first movement to last movement, all are also Gebt unserm Gott die Ehre.

[@pjkhunold]

The text isn't by Bach. The poet was Samuel Rodigast (1649-1708) and the choral melody is by Severus Gastorius (1646-1682).

[@Iceologer]

@@pjkhunold good to know

[@arjenbij]

@@Iceologer The majority of Bach's cantatas are based off chorale melodies, with texts not written by Bach and with a melody not composed by Bach. Bach fits the chorale melody in a framework that is completely new. Just like he does in this cantata, where every aria is based of the chorale melody in one way or another.
