To think that, for a few years, Bach had to write something like this every week! The duet "Wir eilen" is absolutely gorgeous. I am obsessed with this KZbin channel.

Not only compose it, had it copied by his students, rehearsed it with the singers and musicians and then perform it. This is impossible for humans... except for J. S. Bach.

Hard to believe that he composed this on a Monday and Tuesday, got his family to write it out, rehearsed it on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and then they performed it on Sunday. Then started a new one on Monday and repeat over 200! He da Man! 😎 This performance is amazing! 😍

[@herrickinman9303]

Hard to believe because it could not have happened the way you describe. It takes a college choir 4-8 weeks to rehearse one Bach cantata. Surely Bach did NOT perform a new cantata every Sunday. He had administrative duties and private lessons to give. He didn't just sit around composing new cantatas. He could not depend on the poor resources of the Thomas-Schule and town musicians. Like his predecessor Johann Kuhnau, Bach depended on talented students from the university to perform his cantatas and even offered them free music lessons in exchange for their participation in the performances.

[@frenchimp]

@@herrickinman9303 There were very few rehearsals. The performances were probably not as perfect as those we are used to in our day and age; on the other hand musicians were trained differently precisely for that purpose. In many instances we know when Bach got the libretto from the poet, when it was approved by the ecclesiastical authorities, and when the cantata was finally played. So this is not a matter of 'it could not have happened', it's more a matter of 'how could it have happened the way it has'. During the first two years in Leipzig, Bach produced 100 cantatas. Hard to imagine how he could have dedicated 4 weeks to each of them! The rehearsals took place on saturday, one day before the religious service.

[@probablygeneric429]

100 cantatas in 2 years also happens to be about 1 every week on average.

[@gavrinmahaffey3656]

What a beautifully flexible voice the tenor has,and such musical phrasing!

[@justinradolf8717]

I first heard this cantata when I was taking an introduction to music course and had to write a paper on it. I sat in our music library for hours listening to it over and over again. I had never heard anything as exquisite as the second movement, the duet.

[@MegaFount]

If any one needs proof of God listen to this heavenly music. Such perfection. Bach was the God's stenographer, and the Netherlands Bach Society is reciting it for the world to hear. Such incredibly vibrant performances. That the land of Spinoza and Rembrandt gives us such glorious sounds. Bravo!

On peut ici aussi, paraphrasant Debussy(qui parlait de l'Andante du concerto pour violon en la min.), dire que "la beauté de cette Cantate est telle qu'on ne sait plus où se mettre, ni comment se tenir pour se rendre digne de l'entendre!". Et les œuvres du "vieux Bach" qui méritent cette admiration sont innombrables. Merci à la "Netherlands Bach Society" pour cette magnifique interprétation.

With you entirely. Sometimes it’s all to do and speak frankly of the power Bach wielded. E.g. 3’20” to 4’00”. The use of the chromatic line. Still shakes my centre after twenty years of listening to BWV78.

When you hear all of the Bach cantatas you will even be more surprised. For example cantata 'Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ' (BWV 33), especially the duet "Gott, der du die Liebe heißt", but the whole cantata is wonderful.

It's supposed to be a lament. Very skillfully written.

[@herrickinman9303]

@@jamallabarge2665 Surely, the entire cantata is not a lament. The 1st movement is a passacaglia, whose theme is the traditional lament motive: the chromatically descending tetrachord. The theme occurs descending, ascending, and in various keys.

Cantata BWV 78 has been one of my favorites for over 4 decades. The juxtaposition, in moods, of the first 2 movements...wow. This performance is stunning. Although the "old wig" took criticism from Church authorities, and was supposedly only lukewarmly appreciated by the congregation, what did his vocalists and instrumentalists think? Firstly, fear, at the technical difficulties, I'm sure...does the flautist, singer, oboist really need to breathe? Naaaah. But later, while dining with friends, or approaching sleep, what must have been in their minds? The sheer genius, brilliance, uniqueness of the writing must have overwhelmed them, yes? They must have known that they were connected to someone/something truly extraordinary. His recitative writing alone...his diminished triad and 7th chord modulations...amazing, and emotion laden...no one did it better. // This whole production is great...I loved the out of focus, to perfectly in focus camera work in, 'Dein Blut', as the tenor swelled from piano to forte. Again, please keep posting.
