[@1jesus2music3duke]

Around 5:45 you can hear some of the most passionate religious music ever written. You don’t even have to be a Christian to feel the power of Bach’s love for Jesus. The brass setting the stage, the epic tenor line, the bass growing with “GROSS” and the other voices declaiming “REICH.” This is the music that happens when someone with supreme talent also loves God with extreme fervor.

The initial choral is unbelievably beautiful and complex. The combination of solo violin and brass horns results in a joyous, surreal atmosphere appropriate for the Morgenstern. I could not believe this was Bach first work. In fact it is not. It was composed 1725 in Leipzig; thus, it is a mature piece. The BWV number one does not mean the first work composed; it means the first cantata registered in the BWV catalog. BWV enumerates all cantatas first (1 to 198) and then the passions and so on. It is confusing but this was the criterium used. At any rate, a superb cantata and the conduction by Rilling as usual impeccable. Thanks for posting.

Du Sohn Davids aus Jakobs Stamm, Mein König und mein Bräutigam, Hast mir mein Herz besessen, Lieblich, Freundlich, Schön und herrlich, groß und ehrlich, reich von Gaben, Hoch und sehr prächtig erhaben. 2. Du wahrer Gottes und Marien Sohn, Du König derer Auserwählten, Wie süß ist uns dies Lebenswort, Nach dem die ersten Väter schon So Jahr' als Tage zählten, Das Gabriel mit Freuden dort In Bethlehem verheißen! O Süßigkeit, o Himmelsbrot, Das weder Grab, Gefahr, noch Tod Aus unsern Herzen reißen. 3. Erfüllet, ihr himmlischen göttlichen Flammen, Die nach euch verlangende gläubige Brust! Die Seelen empfinden die kräftigsten Triebe Der brünstigsten Liebe Und schmecken auf Erden die himmlische Lust. 4. Ein irdscher Glanz, ein leiblich Licht Rührt meine Seele nicht; Ein Freudenschein ist mir von Gott entstanden, Denn ein vollkommnes Gut, Des Heilands Leib und Blut, Ist zur Erquickung da. So muss uns ja Der überreiche Segen, Der uns von Ewigkeit bestimmt Und unser Glaube zu sich nimmt, Zum Dank und Preis bewegen. 5. Unser Mund und Ton der Saiten Sollen dir Für und für Dank und Opfer zubereiten. Herz und Sinnen sind erhoben, Lebenslang Mit Gesang, Großer König, dich zu loben. 6. Wie bin ich doch so herzlich froh, Dass mein Schatz ist das A und O, Der Anfang und das Ende; Er wird mich doch zu seinem Preis Aufnehmen in das Paradeis, Des klopf ich in die Hände. Amen! Amen!

[@bennettmeale1705]

BWV 1: I begin my journey as a bored high school student to listen to every single piece that Bach wrote. It will be a long and arduous one, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My thoughts on the actual piece: Movement 1: It's really nice. I love the occasional use of the choir and the constantly playing polyphony between the strings and double reeds. Also I just adore baroque trumpet. Movement 2: Not quite as good as 1, but nice nonetheless. Just a tad boring though. Movement 3: I love the double reed in the background (I think it's an English horn but IDK). Goes surprisingly well with the soprano. Movement 4: Not my thing Movement 5: A tad uninteresting, but the harpsichord line is nice. Movement 6: Great. Combination of vocal harmony and the trumpet line is awesome. Overall: 8.2/10

[@LovelyRacer7]

When I was in college, I was always into orchestral compositions, but since I had the opportunity to sing the recit in Wachet Auf #140 in 1976, I have been enamoured with these cantatas.

[@AbnerIMAlvarado]

[@HelenaWilliams8696]

An amazing dynamic introduction! The violin tonality is awe-inspiring, and the french horn instruments join the violin to reinforce the polyphony harmony. When the legato choral joins the orchestra, it blooms into unique sonorous intonation. The soprano with the oboe is a profound and sublime melody. A perfect rendition of the bass singer with the violins resonates harmony. For those agnostic individuals, one feels close to the SUBLIME! The intricacy of Cantata #1 is an inspiring graceful masterpiece.

On a different note, I commend Helmuth Rilling's tempo markings for this piece. It is fast in comparison to Nikolaus Harnoncourt's more conservative tempo in other recordings. Bach entitled this first piece "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern" -- How Beautifully Shines the Morning Star -- and composed it (in 1725 in Leipzieg) for the festival of the Annunciation. In many Western cultures the Annunciation (March 25th) marked the first day of the new year. That's a holiday to get your energy flowing and Rilling's tempo justifies doing just that! In fact, this faster energy carries through the whole work and makes it a very spirited piece, brilliant in nature.

If you have only listened to this on your tinny laptop speakers, you don't know what you're missing. You need to hear it on nice sound-cancelling headphones.

[@MAC-sx4lc]

Or live...

[@dickrichard626]

Anyone that would do that is not going to get far with this music. People that play and make music or "Audiophiles" figure out that there are frequencies that get choked out initially from recording, then from the size and capabilities of the speaker it is playing out of, as well as many other factors work to either highten the experience or choke it out. The best way to experience is obviously live. Really though if you have a decent system in you car or home, it can sound almost just as good as long as the recording is high quality. Really headphones are not the "best" way to listen, just different and they allow you to basicaly inject music into your head at low volume, but using a really good system allows you to crank it up and feel the bass frequencies through your whole body, which you can't get from head phones. It's like listening to dubstep with out any sub doesn't actually make sense... The music just becomes very superficial and stuck being flat sounding with only higher frequencies making all the sound when it's played by a tiny speaker. Head phones can work around this to a degree and add bass back in to the audio, but it's not the bass that is actually in the recording. It's a fake EQ bass.
