Words are not adequate to tell how upliftined the world becomes every time this is performed by this HEAVENLY CHORUS. THANKS BE TO GOD for his many gifts to mankind. GOD has shown how much he loves mankind by giving us J. S. BACH. i cannot imagine the world without him. To think he might never have been born! And not to a musically gifted family. And that his beautiful wo😢rk might have remained “undiscovered”!! It is unthinkable that it might have been that way. Now we must work to make certain that man and beast are never without him and the beauty he bestowed on this planet. Just think!! Contemplate all the beauty that really was lost despite so much effort to keep his music in existence. And the very small chance that his music was preserved despite the anger generated by differences of opinion among religious groups. The Netherlands group has been responsible for giving new energy, greater love, greater understanding, greater appreciation for the complex compositions. But there is a paradox. His music would seem to be horribly complex, but it really is not. The more we listen, the more it sounds like sheer beauty naturally and easily bubbling from a brook high on a mountain top. There is so much more we can say and as time passes we will surely say it. GLORY BE TO GOD ! ! !

Bach's music is transcendental. I've grown up in a non-musical family, never cared about classical music, been a metalhead last 30 years, yet Bach is captivating: I hear new NBS record, I literally cannot let go, must hear to the end, even if it is as long as this (or even as long as Johannes Passion), there is something beyond this world in this music. And what beautiful voices you've got here...

[@germansnowman]

There are also some good metal covers of classical music pieces, e. g. Toccata and Fugue in D minor. One example I have bookmarked is “PJ d’Atri plays Bach - BWV 29 Cantata”. It’s not too metal-y but still shows that Bach’s music transcends specific muaical styles and instrumentations.

The subtle blending of organ and orchestra in the Sinfonia is sublime. Then singers add to the rich soundscape!

[@BernardGreenberg]

It is the second movement of this which amazes me uniquely. Bach has spun out the most tragic _basso ostinato_ ever conceived, with its internal counterpoint between its two ranges and diminished-fourth leaps. The chorus, pronouncing the Great Tribulation, has become the _continuo_ , essentially providing chords over this bass in its passacaglia, as the organ (and harpsichord in 1052) plays something remarkably close to a "rock lead guitar line", in its elaborate rhythmic variety and _fioriture_ . There is even a measure in the organ part where a C# and Db cohabit in the same measure. I can't think of anything like it in Baroque music.

User: Why did Jos van Veldhoven leave the Netherlands Bach Society (NBV)? Assistant: Jos van Veldhoven retired in 2018 after serving as the artistic director of the Netherlands Bach Society for over 35 years. His departure was a planned and natural transition, as he believed it was time to give space to new leadership and fresh artistic visions. During his tenure, he elevated the NBV to international prominence, focusing on historically informed performances of Baroque music, especially the works of J.S. Bach. One of his key achievements was launching the All of Bach project, which aimed to make all of Bach’s works accessible online. His successor was Shunske Sato, who brought his own energy and interpretations to the role. User: Sato left quickly after. Was Jos fed up, or were there internal issues? Assistant: Shunske Sato stepped down as artistic director of the NBV in 2022, only a few years after succeeding Van Veldhoven. The departure was reportedly a mutual decision, with Sato citing his desire to explore a broader repertoire beyond Baroque music and challenges balancing the role with his international commitments. While his tenure saw innovative interpretations, there were likely difficulties in transitioning leadership after Van Veldhoven's long and impactful legacy. For Jos van Veldhoven, his retirement seemed to reflect a deliberate and peaceful decision to step back after a distinguished career, rather than any internal conflicts. However, leadership transitions in long-established ensembles often present challenges, which may have contributed to the organization's direction during Sato's tenure. User: Is Jos still active somewhere? Assistant: Yes, Jos van Veldhoven remains highly active in the classical music world. In 2024, he will conduct several prominent performances, including Bach’s St. John Passion with Phion and Consensus Vocalis in the Netherlands, and the St. Matthew Passion with Phil Zuid later in the year​ ACADEMIEHUIS ​ OPERAPLACE . Internationally, Van Veldhoven has taken on a major role as an artistic partner of the prestigious Oregon Bach Festival in the United States. Collaborating with Craig Hella Johnson, he contributes to the festival’s artistic vision, which emphasizes historically informed performances and innovative programming. His leadership reflects his ongoing passion for Baroque music and Bach’s legacy​ OREGON NEWS ​ ACADEMIEHUIS . This continued engagement showcases Van Veldhoven’s dedication to music and his influence on both national and international stages.

I have a question: Which historical correct pipe organ stops we used to performed the basso continuo from cantatas, oratorios, masses, motets and other sacred choral works by Bach and other baroque composers?

[@bach]

Mostly, pedal stops are 8' and 16' flute or principal foot-stops, such as Subbas 16', Gedackt 8' or Prestant 8' (in English called Diapason). In case the sinfonia of BWV 146, Leo van Doeselaar also added flute stop 8',4',3',2' (particularly Bourdon 8,'4,' Quintfluit 3' and Fluit 2') to keep the organ sound in balance with the orchestra.
