J.S. Bach: Motet BWV 229 'Komm, Jesu, komm' - Vocalconsort Berlin

[@wernerkanapin7029]

JA, - WUNDERSCHÖN - "Ich bin klein - mein Herz ist rein - soll niemand drinn wohnen als Jesus Allein" - WIR DANKEN UNSEREM ALLGEGENWÄRTIGEN HERRN JESUS

[@renesteiner201]

Tolle Interpretation, super musiziert. Eine Freude, diesem Ensemble zuzuhören.

Wahnsinn! Je zarter es wird, desto mehr Gänsehaut.

[@giancitton2604]

Komm, Jesu, komm, mein Leib ist müde. 00:02 Die Kraft verschwind't je mehr und mehr, 00:41 ich sehne mich nach deinem Friede; der saure Weg wird mir zu schwer! Komm, komm, ich will mich dir ergeben. 02:39 Du bist der rechte Weg, die Wahrheit und das Leben. 03:21 Drum schließ ich mich in deine Hände 06:50 und sage: Welt, zu guter Nacht! Eilt gleich mein Lebenslauf zu Ende, ist doch der Geist wohl angebracht. Er soll bei seinem Schöpfer schweben, weil Jesus ist und bleibt der wahre Weg zum Leben.

Timeless masterpiece!

[@ainomarja-leena4619]

One cannot listen to this without breaking to tears and smiling at the same time! Incredible experience. I have had the opportunity to sing this in a choir my self for a few years ago: singing of this masterpiece of mr Bach is also a huge experience and pleasure.

[@adelkenter9358]

Mir ging's auch so

[@notaire2]

Perfekt synchronisierte Leistung dieses kompakten Meisterstücks mit himmlischen Stimmen aller Sänger. Die künstlerische Leitung vom genialen Dirigenten ist auch bemerkenswert. Herzlichen Dank!

[@Jalapablo]

Absolutely stunning, miraculous music of another dimension. Those Leipzig parish-goers and city magistrates really had no idea what kind of colossal genius they had in their midst. Bach is the most stupendous miracle in all of music.

[@dominiekschrijvers1985]

Amen!

[@overheardtalk]

@@dominiekschrijvers1985 this is a very underrated piece of the great master. absolutely stunning. wish he would have included it somehow in the b minor mass.

Ja.

[@markofcain2761]

The most stunningly beautiful version I ever heard.

[@gtnsteve1]

In grad school (U of Chicago) I found a bulletin board notice asking for singers to sing the Bach motets. Having choral experience beginning in a community chorus at age 14 (thanks, Dad) and extending through college and then in a metropolitan chorus, I decided that even with my grad studies I wanted to do this, so I went to the first (unauditioned) rehearsal. I found fifteen or so people ready to learn (or re-learn) these great pieces. I was at somewhat of a disadvantage since I had never even heard of these pieces, but I catch on quickly when surrounded by people who know what they are doing. We ended up singing all 6 motets in north suburban Chicago in the music room of a Frank Lloyd Wright house. I have no idea how we got the gig. But I have remembered the experience for almost 50 years now and still know and love these motets. These are very nice performances!

[@gtnsteve1]

Good ol' sneaky Bach, in the last bar it becomes major! That's cheating a little, as if he's looking for a big round of applause b/c the piece ends all nice. "See, it came out all right in the end." But what I said a year ago still stands: these are six great pieces performed by very accomplished artists. I'd love to do them again, but 60 years of vocal self-abuse have taken their toll on my poor voice. A great memory, and I can always "sing" along with real singers thanks to youtube.

[@Ivan_1791]

surely, if there is a heaven, then J S Bach, will be the conductor of the heavenly choirs. Who else???? This music transport you to another world. Merci avrokasslek for this down load.

[@MusiqueMonAmour]

Why just conducter? Who will compose it if not him in person, as well...

[@jaikee9477]

Quite simple! God composed the music, and Bach was the Kapellmeister who was able to comprehend and write down the notes. Bach considered himself as a servant and he said "Where there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence" You can literally get in touch with God through Bach's music.

"The five part motet Komm, Jesu, komm (‘Come, Jesus, come’) was written for the funeral of the Leipzig University professor and headmaster of the Thomasschule Jakob Thomasius; it was performed in the Paulinerkirche ‘at the highly respectfully maintained corps-ceremonies on 14 September 1684’. The Leipzig poet Paul Thymich, who can be found several times as Schelle’s librettist, wrote the text. The simple stanzaic verse was set to music in the form of a simple, touching choir aria, which must have impressed Johann Sebastian Bach around 1730 so much that he used the text for his motet of the same name, BWV229, and borrowed some of Schelle’s melodic expressions" except from Peter Wollny text... As always, a great master of masters taken behind the curtain! Schelle is as far away from all criticism as Telemann is.

[@KozenaFan]

"Komm, Jesu, komm" is an eight-part motet (not five-part). Double chorus: SATB/SATB. "Jesu, meine Freude," on the other hand, is a five-part (SSATB) motet.

[@smanohar3560]

@@KozenaFan I think you have misunderstood - isn't this post talking about the motet that inspired Bach's version?

[@herrickinman9303]

Apparently you don't understand that female voices were not used in German churches until the 19th century. The high parts were sung by boys or adult male falsettists (what we today incorrectly call "countertenors").
