VOCES8: Jesus bleibet meine Freude - JS Bach

VOCES8 collaborates with Nick Deutsch (Oboe) and Alexander Hamilton (Organ) to record from 'Jesus bleibet meine Freude' from the cantata 'Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147'. The recording was made at St John the Evangelist Church in Islington, London and features on VOCES8's 15th Anniversary album, 'After Silence' (www.voces8.com/aftersilence).
Text:
Words: Martin Jahn (c.1620-82)
Jesus bleibet meine Freude,
Meines Herzens Trost und Saft,
Jesus wehret allem Leide,
Er ist meines Lebens Kraft,
Meiner Augen Lust und Sonne,
Meiner Seele Schatz und Wonne;
Darum laß ich Jesum nicht
Aus dem Herzen und Gesicht.
Translation:
Jesus remains my joy,
My heart’s comfort and sap.
Jesus obviates all misfortune,
He is my life’s strength,
My eye’s delight and sun,
My soul’s treasure and bliss;
Therefore I will not let Jesus go
From my heart and sight.

I could never learn circular breathing. Wish I could 'cause as I age, I must take in gulps every four bars. My grandfather could do this - he learned glass blowing. I was greatly envious.

[@matthiassinger]

Was für ungeheuer reine, volle, reiche Musik… Und wann um alles in der Welt atmet Nick Deutsch? Das Ensemble ist herausragend, aber der Oboist schlägt alles: So eine ungeheure Atemkontrolle - das ist einfach nur grossartig. Als würde er selbst keine Luft brauchen. Alles fliesst in die Musik. Einfach nur unglaublich schön.

[@LifeforArt]

Wer Oboe spielt muss Zirkulationsatmung beherrschen. Während des Spiels wird im Mundraum der Druck gehalten und gleichzeitig durch die Nase eingeatmet. Das geht nur bei Blasinstrumenten welche hohen Druck aber wenig Luftvolumen benötigen.

I've always felt this is the most perfect piece of music ever written. Once it starts, there is no logical place for it to go except to the next note, all the way to the end.

[@PMS1950]

Yes, I've noticed that. A digression free moment of musical genius. Usually slaughtered at weddings by over enthusiastic church choirs.

[@heinrich9154]

I totale agree with you John. I guess, Bach would appreciate this incredible performance. Philip, I see your Point, but don‘t forget that music is for everyone, not only for the priviledged. I wouldn‘t blame a nurse or a teacher for not having received an early and professional choir education and still being touched by Bach.

[@stefanie3831]

In terms of music theory there are countless logical places where it could go. It just seems such a force to you cause you are used to this melody line probably since your early childhood. But it's by far not the only way this melody could have been constructed.

[@theocohen363]

[@supermatthew]

I think there is a pause at 02:00, but it is still mind boggling

[@ftaloYT]

@@TheEvanco impressive because circular breathing is quite hard and our lungs only carry adequate amount of air for like 20 - 40 seconds of breath

[@steveruzich3273]

I wondered about that. (Whether he was using circular breathing or not.) As a trombone player, I use circular breathing mostly to extend a phrase or a long note. I've heard jazz reed players use the technique, but not classical. Very musically effective in this piece. I find it impossible to use circular breathing on a moving line, with a good result, so I found this performance to be particularly impressive.

Why these singers perform this piece so incredibly well... is literally written on their faces... love and modesty. Probably THE essence that made it possible for Bach to write such divine music. As many others already commented here... their German pronunciation is not only perfectly German - even for a German native speaker it is a truly beautiful pronunciation almost no German is able to speak. Really asking myself where they have learnt it! :) That the British have extremely talented musicians is a well known phenomenon. Goosebumps, a bit wet eyes, smiles and the hair on my head stands upright. :)))))) Edit: after hearing it for the fourth time, I can confirm that they speak a more beautiful German than any native speaker.
