Playalong BACH: Jesu, Joy of man's Desiring

[@hank1519]

Sarah, I never realized what a serious and beautiful instrument the soprano recorder is. Always gave my love to the tenor. Silly me!

[@Team_Recorder]

Aww thanks!

[@maxgarete5435]

I just remembered I played this piece as a child on the violin with my mother singing and my father playing the piano. Nice memories!

[@djpenton779]

I have really enjoyed trying to learn tp play the recorder by watching this channel. I also sometimes suspect that all kinds of other people are totally charmed by Sarah's wonderful KZbin personality!

[@huzone600]

Jesu, joy...really helped to save my life. During some down times I was able to play the piece and by the time I had finished I was feeling so much better! Music is healing and you are a healer/teacher par excellence! You were made to do this work, so thanks for being yourself m'dear!

[@Team_Recorder]

❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

[@ChristianPerrotta]

It's so, so, SO satisfying to play along with you!!! Please, continue with these kinds of videos!!!!!

[@copenh21]

Love your channel. So much humor, expressiveness and love of music. In this video you even outshine the beautiful music of Bach.

[@andreacareless4141]

7:35 Oh my gosh, Sarah, I love how you play this!

[@AnomieTrain]

That glittering effect on that jacket is freaking me out

[@wvsuperdave]

Love the play along. Just started playing the bass recorder in a 5 person group. OPPT "Old People Playing Time". I love play along with you Sarah. I wish there was more. The only problem with it , is it dose make me late for Old People Drinking Time.

[@diegotorrescampos5502]

Super!!! I LOVE Bach music

[@jnorman3139]

Beautiful playing!

[@laurelmonterosa7586]

i loved playing along!!! xxx thankyou!

[@victorpaesplinio2865]

I learned how to play the first part of this piece, but when it changes the tone in the middle I still have some trouble. Let's practice more! Thank you Sarah!

[@zijdezacht3738]

Thanks for bringing this magnificiant work into the spotlights. This playalong is such a joy to play. Also kudos for arranger Olschewski who captured the spirit of this work in this version scored for recorder quartet.

[@andreainzaghi7373]

what a coincidence ! My niece is studying it at school and I am following her - thank you

[@annemariedohla9764]

Thank you so much. I just played it and had so much fun. I don’t miss a video. Please keep on doing these tutorials.

[@fepatton]

An all-time favorite! I heard this a lot as a kid from the "Parkening Plays Bach" album, and an E. Power Biggs album (maybe "Great Organ Favorites"?) Going to start working on this today. Thanks!

[@carlosvelez5798]

I just started playing by ear and your videos have helped greatly. Thanks you.

[@yourfavesoftie]

I actually played the quarted version a few years ago and it's soooo beautiful

[@debhayes2822]

Thank you for the gorgeous music!

[@kierab87]

Thank you for your videos. I'm loving this play along... find it really challenging after returning to the recorder since not playing for 30 years!

[@harrisonmin5190]

I honestly love these playalongs. I sometimes struggle finding nice repertoire to play. Thanks for another great video

[@luisalfredovidaldecarvalho876]

I ❤ you!!!! Luis from rio de janeiro.

[@grandma.p]

These pieces sound so nice.

[@gilliantrethowan3257]

so beautiful! thanks so much.... a revelation! .... now I want to learn how to play the tenor recorder as well. ;-))

[@alfredolaudit1851]

Ilove so much!!!!!

[@EdokunAndAmychan]

Beautiful!

[@reptarhouse]

This is so much fun thank you. I'm not very good at the recorder yet but I can almost play this one all the way through already. I start to trip up around the f natural and I have trouble getting in time to breathe but the melody is fantastic and the accompaniment makes it sound heavenly.

[@ichbindiegute3181]

I love your playalongs so much! Thank you so much! And all the best for you little musical baby bump. (My babies just told me to leave the room while practicing: 'Mama, das stört mich!' ,-) )

[@Mani198012]

Dankeschön

[@MsGerda2011]

Thank you Sarah, so beautiful and i’m looking forward to practising this a lot.

[@Machodave2020]

I know I think about it you can put a violin over that too, or any instrument, this playalong is actually really great. This place has been transposed for so many instruments.

[@tillwemakeit]

play alongs > covers well done!

[@WWS322]

I can read music when playing guitar and always passed on this Bach piece though I play several other compositions of Bach. I have a ton of free time and I also practice mandolin as of late and haven't bothered to learn how to read music on it and haven't found a book to slowly learn. I want to learn how to read music for recorder and I think it'll be easier since I can with guitar. I cannot find a good book on Amazon for learning recorder and I tried to find a CD of your music but I need to look again. Anyway, thanks for the delightful videos! I'm a big fan already!

[@e.sitskoorn6325]

This was so much fun! Thank you!

[@lowredphoto]

Beautiful.

[@Richard-si3sr]

Excellent

[@gardeniainbloom812]

It seems congratulations are in order. Yaay!

[@lisalohr9893]

That was just lovely to listen to!

[@joantebokkel984]

Hey, Sarah, thanks so much for your videos. Can you give a suggestion for how to articulate the descant part on Jesu Joy? Thanks!

[@chirpybee]

Sarah - your site is always a joy! This piece of music was something I had to practice ad nauseum as a youngster - I now shudder as soon as I hear it 😀 I still enjoyed your video!

[@donnapeterson9489]

Thank you for this play along with one of my favorites. I had the opportunity to arrange this last Christmas for soprano recorder, cello, guitar, and piano! We did pretty well too. Thank you for leaving in the alto blip. When I heard it I was surprised but then, you are human and perfection must be tiring. 😍

[@zuditaka]

I once knew a concert pianist who told me that if some pianists make a mistake recording, they simply cut out those incorrect notes and insert a couple of correct ones later. That was back in '74, so imagine how "perfect" and "polished" digital recording and editing technology would make a piece today.

[@karituwaithaka6142]

Gorgeous

[@LadyKatsa2]

Beautiful 😍

[@krystynasibielak6569]

Great, will play :-)

[@reeser8]

Beautiful playing! Is that a beautiful baby bump? Hope you can keep up with Team Recorder after the baby 👶!

[@tamarapeirson8354]

Thank you! Fabulous video! Please could you recommend a decent descant recorder to get? I'm currently using a plastic one as the old wooden one wasn't so good!

[@annamariaandalo7754]

Please tell me ho to holding fingers

[@SastaTansenOP]

Thank You so so much for this recording ma'am! ❤️ I am actually not even a Western Classical Musician, I am a Indian Classical One 😅.. And I don't play the recorder, My Instruments are the Voice, Guitar and Sitar (An Indian Instrument) And I practice this piece on all three of those Instruments. ❤️❤️😊 Ik leer ook graag nieuwe talen... (～￣▽￣)～Ik stuur heel veel liefde voor jou en je familie vanuit India! ❤️

[@Recorder-e3e]

Sarah tienes algun video sobre la inegalité en la música barroca francesa? Especialmente Hotteterre, Gracias.

[@louiesalinas4720]

your kinda fun!!!

[@alesiamurray7509]

Do you have a beginner friendly tutorial on this song. I am trying to learn to play for my dad....was always one of his favorites and he is no longer able to play.

[@cherylmoore5239]

If we want to play a song like amazing Grace or other hymn in harmony, can we do it if we all have a soprano recorder?

[@damonrawnsley9736]

🙇‍♂️ sending you much honey for your sound. You are very helpful. Thank you. Damon. The terrible shakuhachi player

[@1Flyingfist]

This is the organ music from church, years and years ago. 🤔 Only recently found out that this is by Bach as well 😯.

[@danielagedah]

Good.

[@Digeroo123]

I would like you playing the top part as well. I get lost. More play alongs please, but all the parts please, so I can play all of them. Missing my groups at the moment. I play along to Musescore but you sound sooo much better . But it does turn the pages though not quite soon enough.

[@BeatBandit]

Does anyone know to which famous piano transcription is she referring?

[@yoruame6910]

Nice talent

[@karenkiebooms1373]

Patrick Denecker, my 'Perfect Gentleman' ... ik droomde ervan dat hij mijn mentor zou worden, in plaats daarvan investeerde hij in nieuwe muziekinstrumenten, die muziek weer dichter bij de minder gefortuneerden brengt ... voor Karen was LOGOPEDIE de charriot, Sophia kiest daarentegen voor MUZIEK en andere schone kunsten ... de brug is mijn STEM, want die zal gebruikt worden voor het spraakgedeelte van A.S.A.P. - een communicatie aid. Een keuze maken was niet gemakkelijk, maar mijn tijd was beperkt en daarom heeft hij voor een coda aan mijn leven gezorgd, zodat de soep op het warmhoudplaatje kon blijven staan. Ik ga er niet om liegen, dat, wat achter me ligt is loodzwaar geweest, zonder één moment van ontspanning, maar het heeft wel gemaakt dat Sophia gelijk op de juiste plaats zit en niks hoeft te bewijzen, want alles wijst zichzelf uit en is gebruiker-klaar ... moraal van dit verhaal, maak het niet moeilijker dan het is, maar laat je de kaas niet uit je bek stelen door malafide vossen!

[@20Hikecdt23]

Is the fingering and notations the same for a tenor and soprano recorder the same? (Thanks for all you work, presentations!)

[@Team_Recorder]

Yes!

[@20Hikecdt23]

@@Team_Recorder Wonderful!!! Tenor, here I come!! (Does it have to match the key of a Soorano?)

[@augiedoggie8814]

I saw a Brazillian quartet "Quinta Essentia" on youtube playing "Jennies Chickens." He was reading from a chart or lead sheet.Is that chart available for sale maybe?It's a tad fast for my ear.

[@hafizperdana5967]

4:50

[@imawarawara]

Omg my band played this in a concert

[@ervanegoimun615]

Can you play minuet in G major 114?

[@Denise-tg2ok]

I have a question. I currently play Flute and Oboe in Band Class and currently the recorder is just seen as a toy in there but, ever since I discovered this channel I've wanted to start seriously learning recorder when I go to music school. (I'm currently in 11th grade) and I was going to learn two recorders the one that matches the Flute and Oboe in Pitch and the one that matches the Piccolo in Pitch and I heard that It was the Soprano(Piccolo) and the Tenor(Flute and Oboe), and well then I said well does it match the range because concert band our music for flute Goes up to like C6-G6 and C6 for Oboe occasionally and C7-G7 for Piccolo and I wondered if I can just take out my recorders and just play my Flute and Piccolo music. Does the Range of the Tenor and Soprano even go near C6 and C7 respectively.

[@miguelcastillo9536]

The recorder sounds beaitifull it must be very expensive

[@serena_davis]

I think it’s around 7:35 or 7:36. Didn’t sound quite right there. It’s been a long time since I played this piece though. 😂 Thank you, Sarah, for this beautiful performance. ❤️

[@Vhbaske]

You have a bump!

[@instrumentaddict30]

How much is a renaissance recorder consort

[@Alexandra-crus-7]

Hello Sarah ! so nice when you play with two flutes .. I would like to Know how I can do the same ...which video program are you using best regards

[@jim_jim1674]

👍👍👍

[@jeanlin4323]

Sarah, thanks for the video. Our group trying to perform this one during Christmas. One question for you, how do I play soprano smoothly?

[@Team_Recorder]

Make sure all your fingers and working together, and support it well with your air stream (blowing enough!)

[@NickiMacB]

Love it-really enjoyed this. How do you decide how to articulate it? I noticed that you are slurring some of the quaver pairs but I can't quite decide how to do this.

[@poyrazengin708]

Hi Sarah.

[@vrenifry64]

Hi Sarah, I am really enjoying your videos. I have got a burning question at the moment: how can you play top F# successful. It comes up in Brandenburgh 4. Many thanks, Vreni

[@cilemusic7707]

With a G baroque alto ! Oooops sorry... the top F# is always a bit tricky, you can try the fingering of your top G with the bell closed by your knee, and adjust the pitch with the pinky. The top F fingering with bell closed also works, but can be a bit flat. There is also an other one, not often used : play a top E, and quickly remove 1+2, this fingering works ONLY with a tie between top E and top F# and is often unstable (so not for the long notes), this is the fingering I use in the eighth notes passages of Brandenburg 4, even if it introduces an unusual tie.

[@jaylonsanders8402]

My guess is at the end of measure 48 in the alto part between 7:30 and 7:35

[@jimgrant7427]

Hi Sarah, lovely piece and idea but I seem to be having trouble getting IMSLP to play ball. I just seem to get a down load to change my settings in a way I do not want and no sign of a recorder arrangement of Jesu joy of man's desire which I do. I already have arrangements of this in 10 parts by Murray and published by OUP. Can I use that? What key is your arrangement in?

[@sarahtoball2606]

Don't click on the first banner you see on the page, that's a clickbait. scroll down a bit and you will see a text link. That will send you to a page that asks you to accept their terms and conditions, but it won't ask to change any of your settings. It takes you to the PDF.

[@lshin80]

Eight more years of Team Recorder... You're doomed MU-HA-HA-HA! LOL

[@instrumentaddict30]

Hi

[@emilylyon8906]

I think it was there idk sounded it though lol😂

[@SergioCambelo]

Hi Sarah! I've been expecting this playalong sooo many time even without knowing it. :-) Last summer I was tackling this score on the soprano part. Question: what is the tempo of this playalong?

[@donbentley250]

The score from the imslp link above shows the tempo as 90.

[@SergioCambelo]

Thanks Don Bentley, nut 90 tripplets per minute is quite faster than Shara's performance. It could be 70?

[@donbentley250]

It will be much slower when I play it.

[@MrLuigge]

I think that 70 is more close

[@SergioCambelo]

Hi! I finally figured it out and the tempo is 197 quaver per minute which is the same as 65.666666... triplets per minute.

[@wouter41]

Dear Sarah, in the score of your link I can't find '...the bit that the choir would sing' that you also play in your video (4:09). I think it should start in bar 9, but it is not there. In fact I can not find it anywhere in that score. Something wrong with me? Could you - or someone else - explain? Thanks!!

[@Team_Recorder]

It's the part where the tenor goes B----- C D---- D C----- B A A :)

[@Arno100ful]

Nice shiny neon smoking.

[@lucashoffses9019]

It's at around 7:35

[@emilylyon8906]

I heard the mistake at 6:17 😂 btw it still sounded amazing

[@ИльгарОсманов-ь4ы]

Привет красавица

[@rrf.717]

3:55 - 4:02 Hahahaha! xD xoxoxo

[@MrLuigge]

I found, it is between 7:31 - 7:35 the notes would be (D E F# A G# G# B A A) you played ( C D E G F F A# G G)

[@isola4935]

Sixth comment!!!

[@ElenaYusupova8]

Thanks so much, Sarah! Your amazing tutorial inspired me and after watching it I recorded my own version. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIKTnp98qdmIZ8kfeature=shared

[@chakkriza234]

You have a baby????

[@Zimster2000]

WARNING! I tried to download the music and somehow whatever I downloaded screwed up my web browser. I don't blame Team Recorder, I blame myself for doing something while not paying careful attention. So be warned and be on your guard. If it happened to me, it can happen to you.

[@ZodiacSam]

WOW! Worst version I ever heard.

[@johnroberts262]

Sarah, I 'm not being too forward I hope, but are you pregnant, or just putting a little weight on?
