Trumpets in the Baroque era: We're an almighty group of three, joined by the timpani, we play beautiful melodies even though our range is very limited and we don't have valves yet Trumpets in the Classical era: Noooo the timpani said they aren't our frendz animor so we plae octafs I gues

[@Nooticus]

The truth!!

[@_Athanos]

Honestly I much prefer it when they're used as a rhythmical instrument rather than a melodic one

[@leorenier1]

11 dislikes? They must have been friends of Johann August Ernesti (1707-81), the new rector of the school where J.S.Bach was teaching music. He made life difficult for Bach, renovating the curriculum of the school to modern standards, doing away with outmoded subjects such as music, and disliking the unfashionable style of the "old" cantor.

I find this comment very funny

[@Nooticus]

1 year until the big 300th anniversary of this most wonderful work!

10:27 I just wanted to take the time how Bach turns the world "laughter" into laughter

[@nguessanbenie2487]

😂😂

[@joseleonido3479]

What

[@Vingul]

@@joseleonido3479 it's like they're laughing when singing the word "laughter".

[@aimilios439]

Nice observation! Also, Sol clef shouldn't really be used for anything alto related, I agree.

😂

[@fritzw.5057]

Thank you, Geru! Good Work and Happy Easter! Btw, the Easter Sunday of 1725, when it was performed the first time, was also the first of April ;)

[@blake4129]

Fritz W. Woah, that is actually really cool, where did you find that out from?

[@fritzw.5057]

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oster-Oratorium_(Bach) The German Wikipedia says in the first sentence, it was performed on the first Easter Day (First of April), which should be the Easter Sunday^^ And the English one says it either: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Oratorio

[@joseantoniolara2852]

I encourage you to follow with the scrolling of the masterpieces do the music. Thanks a lot.

[@roycezaro1998]

Incredible video...and inhumanly divine music. Happy Easter, Geru!

[@elias69420]

Whenever I listen to the Adagio, the very first note hits me with a deep feeling of nostalgia. I can imagine myself playing the cembalo (I'm a pianist IRL) in a Baroque orchestra, playing basso continuo of some old violin concerto... I don't really know why that happens. Is it just me?

[@haydnschlinger6740]

The first note is reminiscent of the violin concerto in e major second movement, maybe that’s it?

[@momoalnajjar]

Happy Easter!

[@walteralvarezperalta6270]

El inicio... qué bello: aparece primero la mortaja o sudario de Cristo, luego el ángel que lo custodia, a continuación las mujeres únicos testigos de este maravilloso hecho y al final Jesús resucitado.... y de fondo la música de Bach!!! Este Oratorio de Resurrección es unas de las obras que me gusta que me gustan mucho de Bach. Cómo me hubiera gustado conocerle y escucharle en vivo!!! Allá en el Paraíso nos veremos JSB. Gracias Gerubach por tan magnifico trabajo! Saludos desde Lima-Perù

[@Schleiermacher1000]

Would like to know why Gardiner never or often does not name his soloists.

[@izanagi21ify]

I always loved how _Sanfte soll mein Todeskummer_ depicts the feeling of grief being slowly lifted away. Again, what an excellent upload. Thank you and happy Easter.

[@joseleonido3479]

The Aria (Sanfte Soll mein Todeskumer) is so beautiful.

[@sonicfan9588]

Agreed

[@CanelonVegano]

this sounds like the best piece ever

[@jaikee9477]

Too much work and stress this week, but the moment I turn this piece, it all starts to fade away. Bach's music does great wonders to the human soul. It's measurable! Most precious channel on all of YT. Thank you very much for your great work, Geru, and happy Easter! :-)

[@Nooticus]

There are times of despair where nothing can save me except 'Sanfte soll mein Todeskummer'. And then I consider being a Christian but then I realise that my Jewish beliefs can and do coexist with Lutheran beliefs about death... somehow...!

[@bpowell875]

2:43 to 2:50 This chord progression is in so many Bach pieces and it's insane. Brandenburg Concerto 2 and 5 Toccata and Fugue in d minor, Fugue Herr, Unser Herrscher - And countless others. Is there any significance to it or is it just one of Bach's many signatures?

[@eliasreyna9461]

Little fugue in G minor

[@lior1328]

I love this duet: "lauchet und scherzen begleitet die herzen"

[@elias69420]

Yes. It's very lovely. The whole movement, however, was initially a duet. The "Kommt, eilet..." section was changed for choir and the middle section stayed a duet.

[@TheOneAndOnlyZelenkaGuru]

Another year, another Easter, another listen to gerubach's rendition of the score 😁

[@raythirawat3230]

How did trumpeters trill without valves back then?

[@peter3867]

Very good embreshure I believe, and playing very high up where natural harmonics makes it easier. I actually think by Bach's time they did have primative valves. Listen to some Giovanni Gabrieli which was certainly before valves. Amazing.

¿Y qué sabemos de los intérpretes, orquesta y director? Me parece que es la versión de Eliot Gardiner...

Argh... Scrolling scores are nice but not staggered like that. Doesn't work for me at all. Gotta be all parts together.

Thank you so much for this! Perfect for Easter! Also I'm so happy to see you were able to use this great recording. Gardiner with his Choir and Orchestra is still the benchmark when it comes to interpreting Bach.

Good Job Gerubach!!

[@Alexander-oh8ry]

why are they plaing the (8th, 8th x1.5, 16th) figure always wrong? They play the first note too late and too short!

[@SebLP97]

That is how you played this kind of rhythm back in the day. You may also notice that the punctuation is doubled, the dotted eigth is played as a double-dotted eigth. The idea of having two dots behind a note making it even longer and thus being accurate was invented by Leopold Mozart, I believe. The musicians knew how to play rhythms like these, so there was no point in wasting precious space.

[@Alexander-oh8ry]

DerSeb97 thanks that was very informative

[@onewhogetsbread9975]

Happy and blessed Easter, Passover, and Ramadan!!! The year is 2023 and all of these happened at the same time!! Woooo!

2nd movement, the string motif is played differently as shown in the score.

I like the scrolling score but please, just remove the red bar and keep the speed consistent. Its giving me motion sickness !!

[@steffen5121]

The rhythm of the adagio is played wrongly and it bothers me very much.

[@dlevi67]

Apart from the fact that it isn't - but I suppose you can always try to convince John Eliot Gardiner that you know better.

[@RubenAndreDelgado]

That's the way it should be played according to lots of historical documents: dotted rests didn't exist back then.
