Bach - Chorale Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern BWV 436 | Netherlands Bach Society

The text of the chorale 'Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern' - performed here by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach - is teeming with partly concealed imagery. Poet and song composer Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608) wrote both the seven-verse text and the melody. Bach decided not to add any more musical metaphors to the wealth of images already in the poem itself. This harmonious setting reserves the starring role for Nicolai himself.

Can I add huge appreciation for the production - the acoustics, the lighting and filming, the location. These things don’t get much mention, but are honestly such a huge part of the Project. I love it all!

[@markalexander5124]

Stunning! Such a pure, clean voice. Thank you, it brought trars to my eyes.

[@teleroel]

Dit hele project blijft verbazen met prachtige muziek!

Que c'est beau !

[@desperateastro]

Another brilliant gem from Bach! The variety of mood and emotion in his music is vast, and it is often profoundly deep. Bach lifts your spirits above the mundane everyday world.

Peace overflows the soul! ❤️❤️❤️

I've heard so much beautiful music in my lifetime but I have never heard anything that is more beautiful than this. Thank you!

[@pedroantoniosillero6555]

Bravo y mil veces bravo! Sólo tengo palabras de agradecimiento para el trabajo increíble que hacéis y compartirlo con todo el mundo. Millones de gracias.

[@dabeamer42]

Ausgezeichnet! Schlicht und einfach.

[@EllieArroway-co5xf]

Mir ist die Aussprache zu affektiert. Mir gefällt diese Version: czcams.com/video/3IGXK4vI8CI/video.html&start_radio=1 wesentlich besser.

[@FlexingClassicalMusic]

🎼 Your music is a true masterpiece, a symphony of emotions that speaks to the heart. The way you compose and perform is a testament to your musical brilliance. Bravo! 👏🌟🎶

[@uptownfunk9446]

Congratulations for your amazing work! If possible, it would be good to have the original German text to follow along 🎉

[@cstiska]

wow!

[@rebanelson607]

my sentiments exactly!

[@seattledutch]

Amazing❤

[@cooolbreeeze]

wow.

[@charleswood8849]

Thanks for the captions!

[@ariadne4720]

the captions in English are a free-ish translation of the German. The original German, if you were to translate it literally into English, I find even more moving. Just my opinion.

[@BachHymnbook1750]

The English captions are singable translations, hence the 'free-ish.' @@ariadne4720

[@DatGinnga]

I’ll drop a like for that :)

Смотрю и убеждаюсь, что красивых женских голосов крайне мало.

[@Deipnosophist_the_Gastronomer]

👍 Yep.

[@dickbuld629]

Het is buitengewoon verheugend dat de Nederlandse Bachvereniging ook het nut van ondertiteling inziet en deze uitvoerig daarmee heeft verrijkt. Ik spreek de hoop uit dat de NBV in navolging van de Zwitserse evenknie, ook de reeds uitgebrachte cantates daarmee aanvult. Het zal veel mensen helpen om de schoonheid van muziek en cantate tekst, door Bach zo groots gecombineerd, beter te leren verstaan.

[@bach]

Fijn om te lezen dat de ondertiteling wordt gewaardeerd. Wij zien absoluut ook de meerwaarde hiervan in, het is echter vooral tijdgebrek wat ons tot nu toe ervan heeft weerhouden om ondertitels toe te voegen. We gaan proberen om dit in de toekomst vaker te doen, hopelijk ook met terugwerkende kracht voor de al gepubliceerde video's!

[@dickbuld629]

Fijn dat ook de voor enige dagen geleden opname van BWV 248-1 is ondertiteld. Trouwens dit deel is bijzonder mooi uitgevoerd. Shunske Sato en solisten en orkest op z'n best. Maar ik blijf Jos van Veldhoven missen.
