*Click to activate the English subtitles for the presentation* (00:00-04:55). Le choral (cantique luthérien) à une place importante dans l'œuvre de Bach. ‘Cantor musices’, organiste, chargé de composer beaucoup de musique pour le culte, Bach a consacré la majeure partie de son activité créatrice au service de l'Église réformée. Profondément croyant, ce fut pour lui l'expression naturelle de sa foi. Or, le choral, qu'il a eu à illustrer et à faire chanter à l'assemblée, est l'exercice spirituel fondamental des fidèles et exprime tous les grands dogmes de la religion. Le choral n'est donc pas pour Bach un simple thème musical, mais un moyen d’expression toujours étroitement associé à une notion théologique ou dévotionnelle précise, que les paroles en soient ou non exprimées. C'est donc dans la mesure où il véhicule un texte liturgique que le choral est un élément de base de la musique cultuelle luthérienne, de Bach en particulier. Il apparaît ainsi comme un genre, et non comme une forme musicale codifiée ; et comme tel, il sous-entend des œuvres de formes diverses. Chanté à l'unisson par l'assemblée, le choral est aussi, en polyphonie, chanté par le chœur de l'église. D'où les nombreuses harmonisations qui en ont été réalisées dans ce but, et réunies en recueils. Il a été publié en quatre volumes, de 1784 à 1787, l'ensemble des chorals harmonisés par J. S. Bach. Sur 371 pièces de provenances variées, 186 sont spécifiquement des harmonisations à quatre parties destinées au chœur (les autres provenant essentiellement de cantates). Du fait de son poids spirituel pour les fidèles, le choral apparaît à de nombreuses reprises dans les cantates et les passions. Il encadre le déroulement musical en sectionnant le récit, en faisant intervenir une réflexion d'ordre largement communautaire ; il est alors généralement harmonisé à quatre parties et discrètement soutenu par les instruments, à moins qu'il ne soit cité, précédé et entouré d'une ritournelle mélodique, énoncé soit à l'unisson (choral du « Veilleur», cantate BWV 140), soit à quatre voix (choral Jésus que ma joie demeure, cantate 147). Ou bien il intervient comme thème dans un chœur polyphonique (chœur d'entrée de la Passion selon saint Matthieu). Mais c'est surtout à l'orgue que ‘le choral’ offre à Bach les plus grandes possibilités de développement. L'organiste liturgique a en effet à préluder, à accompagner, à jouer des interludes, à commenter les chorals du jour. D'où ces Préludes de chorals, ou plus simplement Chorals pour orgue, qui énoncent le thème du cantique en l'ornant et en l'enrobant d'un commentaire qui le paraphrase et en souligne musicalement les intentions spirituelles, les images poétiques et les symboles religieux. Ce commentaire sonore prend de nombreuses formes dans l'œuvre d'orgue de Bach. Le Cantor pénètre le sens du verbe (la parole de Dieu) qu'il traduit : sous sa plume les harmonies composent un langage imagé, facile à saisir : il décrit à l'aide de formules, d’expressions, de thèmes : système complexe qu'il a repris à ses prédécesseurs, mais développé au point de créer, en ses chorals, comme en ses cantates d'ailleurs, un idiome qui n’appartient qu'à lui. On connaît 211 chorals pour orgue attribués à Bach, parmi lesquels 155 sont d'authenticité assurée. Certains d'entre eux ont été composés ou regroupés en recueils. Ce sont les 45 chorals du Petit Livre d'orgue (ou ‘Orgelbüchlein’), les 21 chorals de la Messe luthérienne pour orgue (dite aussi Dogme en musique, troisième partie de la ‘Clavierübung’), les 18 Chorals « de Leipzig » (anthologie réunie par Bach lui-même des pièces auxquelles il tenait le plus) et les 6 Chorals ‘Schübler’, transcriptions pour l'orgue de morceaux destinées à l'éditeur Schübler. A ces pièces, il faut ajouter les suites de variations (ou ‘Partita’) pour orgue sur des thèmes de chorals. On en connaît quatre, dont les Variations canoniques sur «Vom Himmel hoch da komm 'ich her», composées par Bach en 1748 pour son entrée à l'académie musicale de Mizler, constituent un véritable monument de l'art de la variation. Le couronnement de sa création dans ce domaine est constitué par la ‘Klavierübung’ avec ses deux arrangements du Kyrie («Kyrie, Gott..»), ses trois arrangements du Gloria («Allein Gott in der Höh' sei Ehr») et les deux arrangements des 6 chorales ‘Schübler’. Toutes les formes imaginables de l'arrangement et de la composition, notamment des figures de rhétorique de caractère symbolique, apparaissent ici dans leur plus haute concentration spirituelle. Selon des recherches récentes, les diverses pièces du recueil ont probablement toutes été écrites peu de temps avant l'impression, ce que paraît également confirmer leur style de haute maturité. Avec J.S. Bach s'achève l'histoire du choral luthérien pour orgue. Son héritage musical fut cependant soigneusement préservé et maintenu dans des oeuvres d'une grande qualité artisanale, en particulier par deux de ses élèves, J.L. Krebs à Altenburg (-1780-) et J.Chr. Kittel à Erfurt (-1809-). Kittel surtout sut réunir autour de lui un vaste cercle d'élèves, parfaitement conscients de la valeur de la tradition de J.S. Bach dans la musique d'orgue liturgique de l'Allemagne du Centre ; le plus important est l'organiste de Darmstadt J.Chr.H. Rinck (-1846-). Cependant, aucune forme nouvelle du choral pour orgue n'a été élaborée par les descendants spirituels de Bach.

For the English speakers (Google Translate): The choral (Lutheran hymn) has an important place in the work of Bach. ‘Cantor musices’, organist, responsible for composing a lot of music for worship, Bach devoted most of his creative activity to the service of the Reformed Church. Deeply believing, it was for him the natural expression of his faith. Now, the choir, which he had to illustrate and to make the assembly sing, is the fundamental spiritual exercise of the faithful and expresses all the great dogmas of religion. The chorale is therefore not for Bach a simple musical theme, but a means of expression always closely associated with a precise theological or devotional notion, whether or not the words are expressed. It is therefore to the extent that it conveys a liturgical text that the chorale is a basic element of Lutheran cult music, of Bach in particular. It thus appears as a genre, not as a codified musical form; and as such, it implies works of various forms. Sung in unison by the assembly, the choir is also, in polyphony, sung by the church choir. Hence the many harmonizations that have been achieved for this purpose, and gathered in collections. It was published in four volumes, from 1784 to 1787, all of the choirs harmonized by J. S. Bach. Out of 371 pieces from various sources, 186 are specifically four-part harmonizations intended for the choir (the others mainly coming from cantatas). Because of its spiritual weight for the faithful, the choir appears many times in cantatas and passions. It oversees the musical development by sectioning the story, by bringing in a reflection of a largely community nature; it is then generally harmonized in four parts and discreetly supported by the instruments, unless it is cited, preceded and surrounded by a melodic refrain, stated or in unison (choir of the "Watchman", cantata BWV 140) , or in four voices (choral Jesus that my joy remains, cantata 147). Or else it intervenes as a theme in a polyphonic choir (entrance choir of the Passion according to Saint Matthew). But it is above all on the organ that ‘the choir’ offers Bach the greatest possibilities for development. The liturgical organist indeed has to prelude, accompany, play interludes, comment on the choirs of the day. Hence these Choral Preludes, or more simply Chorals for organ, which set out the theme of the hymn by adorning and coating it with a commentary that paraphrases it and musically emphasizes its spiritual intentions, poetic images and religious symbols. This sound commentary takes many forms in Bach's organ work. The Cantor penetrates the meaning of the verb (the word of God) which it translates: under its pen the harmonies compose a pictorial language, easy to grasp: it describes using formulas, expressions, themes: complex system which he took from his predecessors, but developed to the point of creating, in his choirs, as in his cantatas for that matter, an idiom that belongs only to him.

Johann Sebastian Bach did not devote his services to the Reformed Church. Bach was a life-long member of the Evangelical (read Lutheran) Church, and the congregations that he served as Cantor in were of the Confessional Lutheran variety. That Bach's personal convictions were Lutheran has been verified and, if you'd like further information on the subject, can be explored in the volume "J.S. Bach and Scripture: Glosses from the Calov Bible Commentary" Introduction, Annotations, and Editing by Robin A. Leaver.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I grew up Catholic, so I've been aware of the organ for a long time, like 50 years. That being said, it's only of recent that I've begun to find a new fascination with this instrument. It's probably because of the size and power of the sound, but I was distracted by other things for a long time. I'm a rock musician from way back, so I love a good, loud building, but before strapping on a guitar, it's why I first played drums in the fife and drum corps; you could FEEL that thunderous sound reverberate through the building, even inside and out. But to tell you the truth, there is nothing like ten thousand pipes blasting the walls of some cathedral in London on a chill February morning before I head off to confront the world. A godsend. Ginormous! Amen.

Beautiful. As a pianist, I like to occasionally switch up the instruments that I listen to. While I also love listening to Haydn's symphonies, Beethoven's string quartets, Schubert's String quintet (amazing work, D956, check it out) nothing beats Bach's organ works to me. Not even his piano music is quite to this level if you ask me, and a reference recording this truly is!

[@badhairdye]

Very nice, but Bach wrote no piano music. 'Clavier' was the term used for 'keyboard' in Bach's time, but Bach did not care for the then-contemporary piano, which developed only in the latter third of the 18th century. Much of his keyboard music, and Baroque keyboard works generally, are often played on piano, but, as you know, to do so requires a certain training if the artist intends to remain faithful to 18th century sound. Bach's organ works are rarely played on piano, however, as they require pedal obbligato which the piano (obviously) cannot manage.

Wer hatte (als Bach-Jünger) noch nicht den Gedanken, sich per Zeitmaschine ins Jahr - sagen wir mal - 1725 vor die Leipziger Thomaskirche versetzen zu lassen, den Meister abzufangen und ihn um ein Selfie und ein Autogramm zu bitten...

[@xresdkj]

Seus últimos trabalhos, Classical Music, esses que você vem divulgando mais recentemente, merecem palavras de louvor e agradecimento pela sua dedicação a preservação da alta cultura musical. Um trabalho cuidadoso, detalhando toda a apresentação dos vídeos, acompanhado de ótimas exposições teóricas e explicativas e, sobretudo, pedagógico. As peças escohidas, como sempre, densas, comoventes, tocantes, nos colocando no belo exercício de atenção à autentica estética musical. Somos lançados de imediato na maravilha e no amor à grande arte musical. Parabéns, mais uma vez, uma vez mais.

[@MegaPuck2011]

The BWV 764 is just so great!

[@yiannisgalidakis8250]

Many thanks for this. I've been looking for collections of his organ works, starting from Teldeck and ending with Tom Koopman's organ recodrings on youtube, but the latter get being deleted here, so this looks like the most prominent organ collection, in one place now. Excellent organist, too. 10 hours of prayer and contemplation in parallel with work is always major relief. Hope this video doesn't get banned here like Koopman's recordings.

[@αλώβητοςκανένας]

How any of today's musicians can compare to this brilliance.. It's somewhat oxymoron, that Music reached it's top, back in the 1700s.

[@Piflaser]

[@jaikee9477]

@@Piflaser Nonsense, not to mention that your simple relativistic reply portrays everything that wrong with our post modern times.

[@Piflaser]

@@jaikee9477 What do you mean? Should in our days a music be written which sounds like Bach and Händel? Do you know Tristan Keuris, Olivier Messiaen, Alban Berg?

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

@@Piflaser I know Messiaen and Berg, both no doubt eminent composers. Neither do I think that every work must sound like Bach and Handel. That being said, I know of no two other composers who have exerted such a defining influence on the development of Western music. In Bach's case particularly, his influence has been immeasurable. Subsequent composers drew from his works and owe him an unpayable debt.

[@JLouchet]

Beautiful interpretation, beautiful instrument and perfect registration. However at times the beat is not very steady, which somewhat distracts from the `infinity' of this music. Musical 'sentences' l;ack structure and become unclear: more subtlety on accentuation and phrasing would help to speak directly to the heart, which is what beautiful music should do.

Interesting use of a sesquialtera mixture - sounding a major third at the 17th or 22nd pitch - in the Variation beginning at 9:45:57. It's not out of tune, it's supposed to be like that.

When I lived in Des Moines, IA in 1985 the American Guild of Organists put on a "Bach-a-thon" to raise money for the Des Moines Interfaith Food Bank. It ran from 9 AM -9 PM Saturday, then 3 PM - 9 PM on Sunday. People paid $10 for a two-day hand stamp, The hourly concerts ran hourly from 00 to :50, leaving 10 minutes for change of artists and audience flow. A large amount of money was raised for the foodbank. Not all hours were organ performers. Some excellent Chamber Orchastras and Choirs performed and Sunday wrapped up with N astounding performance of the B-minor Mass.

[@badhairdye]

Sorry, but there are no 'chorals' in Bach's music. 'Chorals' is not an English word. What you have called 'chorals' are called 'chorale preludes' in English. I suspect you have attempted to translate the French 'le choral' into English, but even in French the correct term is 'le chorale' or better, 'le chorale prelude,' not 'le choral' (whatever that is.) Nevertheless, it is a cultural boon that you have posted here most of Bach's chorale preludes, and we thank you.

[@classicalmusicreference]

Thank you :)

[@qwaqwa1960]

Organ(s)??? Neo-baroque I suppose, but way too NEO!

Are the Chorals only written for organ or do some contain actual voice/choir?
