- Komm süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!
Komm, führe mich in Friede,
weil ich der Welt bin müde,
komm, ich wart auf dich,
komm bald und führe mich,
drück mir die Augen zu
Komm selge Ruh!
Komm süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!
Im Himmel ist es besser,
da alle Lust viel größer,
drum bin ich jederzeit
schon zum Valet bereit,
ich schließ die Augen zu.
Komm selge Ruh!
Komm süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!
Ich will nun Jesum sehen
Und bei den Engeln stehen.
Es ist nunmehr vollbracht,
drum Welt zu guter Nacht,
mein Augen sind schon zu.
Komm selge Ruh!

Ton Koopman, organ
So cool that Evangelion is so popular they made German people real
Ich bin auch sehr froh existieren zu dürfen!

Japanese love Germans so much that they made Evangelion with full of German tastes.
Japanese love Germans so much that they beat Germans in football for sweet death.

Was not the Komm, süßer Tod I was expecting but I am pleasantly surprised nonetheless.
well technically it is Komm , Subereadsfhd Todd.
There is no other. Bach is it, is all, is the centre of meaning. Whether this or the Virgil Fox organ solo arrangement...

Imagine you are this talented Artist who uploaded this video to bring some Bach Music to all of us and then you get (in my case) a cheese commercial before your video and a comment section filled with confused Anime fans.
I mean in fairness, there's no way the name of the song from evangelion was an accident (it's intentionally named in german?). The composer is showing respect. Also use ad-block.
NGE is sh1t
Regarding the anime fans, most of us would probably have missed this piece entirely if it wasn't for the Evangelion song bearing the same name.
Sure it's a bit awkward (mostly for the baroque people, to be honest, as NGE fans, we've seen worse), but I'm sure this talented artist is more than happy that his performance is reaching way beyond his usual base.
As a great lover of both Bach and Evangellion, I find all these comments (mostly meme comments from the Evangellion people and angry responses from the people here for Bach) quite amusing.
same here, reading the comments is quite fun
Came literally for the comments.
Same here!! Music student and eva enthusiast
@@officekuroro I'm denizen of the internet and a classical musician, I can't help but be amused.
Tbh i was kinda surprised just now bc my mother just sang a medley of bach's songs (child choir version) and i was just like... Wait- i know this melody. After years i finally discovered Eva's ost originated from Bach - quite impressive!

Ok guys so I looked for songs similar to "Hey Jude" and it recommended "Komm süßer Tod". I don't think this is the right one.
it's based off a spanish song, check it out on reddit
I know I'm really late to this, but I think your recommendations meant the Evangelion song "Komm süßer Tod" which other than sharing the name and general sad theme, is much closer to "Hey Jude" with it's main inspiration being "Hey Jude".
Instead of getting "Hey Jude" you got "ℌ𝔢𝔧 𝔍𝔲𝔡𝔢"
I feel like Bach might now have been in the best of moods. Also incredibly talented singer, hitting these low notes takes some real windpipes.
It's about the concept of vanitas, i.e. that life on earth is just a tribulation to prepare for the "real life" in the afterlife but otherwise meaningless, which is an important concept in Christianity and had a high point at that time.
@@dingus_doofusWe should talk more about death like we did in the Past. Because two things are certain "I Was born, and i will die"
This would actually fit quite well with a certain anime we all know
Gundam?

I absolutely love this rendition. Lyrics are clear, organ accompaniment is perfect.
What a truly moving performance. Imagine becoming as excellent a singer as Mr. Mertens, here.
The lighting and quality makes this look like an early 200's film
Ton Koopman is the GOAT
most probably is haha
Yeah, movies were just different in the late Roman Empire
Oh my Good Lord. This delivery was beyond brilliant and piercing. Than you. I had forgotten to cry
better than the one i was looking for originally
Personally I think the eoe was a total masterpiece
I too have an extraordinarily big penis!
It was.
Magnifique Klaus Mertens ! Quelle voix, quelle splendide expressivité. Merci pour la vidéo
Einfach geil. Intonation toll, aber vor allem natürlich ein unglaublich starkes Liedgut. Immer wieder super.
I got this beautiful piece from my singing teacher. It perfectly reflects my feelings too right now. "Come lead me to peace now, for of the world I am weary" is such a mood.

This is three of five verses. If only we had a full version.
Also, it is a song about welcoming death because life sucks. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
It was written for good Friday, when Jesus carried the cross hence "come oh sweet death"
No, actually it is about welcoming death because life is unbearable. The lyrics are really depressing if you understand german.
No, like Alejandor said: "It was written for good Friday, when Jesus carried the cross hence "come oh sweet death"". You can easily look this up on Wikipedia.. Other than that, I like Bach's heavier works too. I'd advise: Erbarm Dich mein, o Herre Gott (BWV 721)
meh, does life suck? depends... probably you just suck?
Isnt it about the third impact? Oh sorry wrong community... ill just go back to neon genesis evangelion...
Exquisitely sung.A truly beautiful song. An expression of deep faith - Bach is incomparable.
first time I heard this song was on the game fantasy general. it haunted me so .uch I wanted to hear the original. so glad I found this. exelent singer.
I've played a bit of that (GOG gave it away for free awhile back), but had no idea it had that song. That's really neat.
When you get to this video not for the evangelion soundtrack or Bach, but for the comments
Lyrics :
I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain
Its time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything.
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
whats done is done, it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
my world is ending
I wish that I could turn back time
'cause now the guilt is all mine
can't live without the trust from those you love.
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that it's killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down,
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down,
in my heart of hearts,
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
everything, everything
that matters to me,
matters in this world
I wish that I could turn back time
'cause now all the guilt is mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
we can't forget love and pride
because of that, its killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
I just had a vision of Bach, he told me that there is a very special place in hell for you...
Thanks Lars.
Waitaminute... That's Evangelion's "Komm, Süsser Tod"!

ACTUAL lyrics:
Komm süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!
Komm, führe mich in Friede,
weil ich der Welt bin müde,
komm, ich wart auf dich,
komm bald und führe mich,
drück mir die Augen zu
Komm selge Ruh!
Komm süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!
Im Himmel ist es besser,
da alle Lust viel größer,
drum bin ich jederzeit
schon zum Valet bereit,
ich schließ die Augen zu.
Komm selge Ruh!
Komm süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh!
Ich will nun Jesum sehen
Und bei den Engeln stehen.
Es ist nunmehr vollbracht,
drum Welt zu guter Nacht,
mein Augen sind schon zu.
Komm selge Ruh!
Thanks for including the captions.
when you unironicaly listen to the song and like it besides the memes
Ein sehr, sehr guter Sänger und Interpret.
One of my favorite Bach's BWV (Bach Werke Verzeichnis/Bach Works Catalogue) that so deep in its meaning about near-death experience.
For me, I always play this suite while thinking about a depressed and untrained Japanese pilot of a sapient robot strangling his female partner, whereas everyone dissolves into orange juice (Tang?)
that second paragraph had quite an impact. touché
@@StubenhockerElite For me that impact was the third time, i'm being used to that now
I'm singing this in choir....Gah! I want to sound just like him!!!
Wow. Beautiful singing for a beautiful song.

super performance!
Joa
Ton Koopman is so recognizable ;-)
Indeed he is!
The Greatest Bach Vocalist Ever
no question. 110%! I hope to hear Mertens live before i die
Charles Daniels
Wunderschön!
At the commencement of the second refrain I just pine for a halo of strings - the music just deserves breadth of tone.
Wow! The great master
no encuentro palabras para escribir la belleza de esta pieza, y su magistral interpretación, sobria y precisa, con un órgano que no le resta protagonismo a la voz cantante, pero que marca presencia humildemente y con perfección, como a J.S. Bach le gustaría.

There was a choir version of "Komm susser tod" on youtube. But it has been removed. Does anyone has it on mp3 or something else? It sounds like the Knut Nystedt performance.

When the death ist süs
OMG... this makes death almost desirable.
If you read about Bach's life and that time period in general, death was everywhere. I think music like this was written to soothe people from all the death around them.
IKR
Life... it all comes tumbling down
The expectation of a Christian is that he is saved, and that a pleasant Afterlife awaits him. At the least he will not be damned to spend an eternity with horrible denizens of Hell (I may have an anachronism here, but I certainly don't want to go where Holocaust perpetrators are).
This is an assurance that death is not a terror to the normal person. I can imagine the worst condition in which to die, racked in feelings of guilt, failure, and shame. The pain of organ failure, the confusion of senility, the loneliness and poverty that one may have endured will be no more.
That's why Seele wanted the human instrumentality project to go forward.
Get in the basso continuo, shinji!
Alright, I’ll admit this is pretty funny, lol.

I don't know. I kind of really like this culture clash. It's also quite fitting, considering that many of the actual anime makers and anime soundtrack componists are very well educated in terms of classical history, literature and music from europe.
This couple (klaus Mertens and Ton Koopman) apparently wants to catch the last train.
Super barroque way of WANT DIE

Komm, süßer Tod, then I won't have to know about the existence of transcriptions and renditions of this piece that are not by Bach, attributed to him.
I hate when people do that, they just say the piece's name then plop the composer's name on it after it's heavily altered by people who aren't professional composers who actually understand the spirit of the music.
Thankfully this rendition exists. It's not supposed to be a dreadful piece, but that's what everyone else makes it out to be. It's all cheap, tasteless, overdone nonsense when it's played so slowly that they only go through it once and it's longer than this video.
It's quite sad.
+Opus 32 Or it's simply another rendition that can exist harmoniously with more informed versions such as this. Bach is interesting at very slow tempi- it allows beginners to savor the counterpoint.
I admit it's annoying to hear that incredibly slow, romantic orchestral adaptation when you're in the mood for this, though, especially when it's labeled incorrectly!
Jeffrey Soto It's irritating because on a compositional level, the renditions created are amateurish.
Plus those renditions destroy the spirit of the piece and turn it into something cheesy.
+Opus 32 It's a good practice, nonetheless, to internalize the fact that other people genuinely like things that you find repulsive. There is no such thing as a consistent or meaningful arbiter of taste: de gustibus non est disputandum.
+Jeffrey Soto bruv read some kant
Jeffrey Soto As feel-good as it is to think about stuff like that, when you actually pay attention to the quality, it's just not there.
Quality and nuance are real things. They're difficult to describe and may be somewhat abstract, but one could measure it. There would be a certain level of entropy that has been decreased in the creation of a work of art.
Very little gets displaced in the case of the irritating, banal, corny transcriptions, but a huge amount was displaced in creating the original piece.
Bach was so practiced that creating new works of music was relatively trivial to him. I have respect for that work, passion and effort.
I don't have respect for people trying to piggyback off of that hard work, determination and effort, and simply the pure results of what Bach created.
This is so fucking metal
Bach stans seething rn
so am i the only one who came here intentionally... lol
is this an evangelion reference?
No
i genuinely relate to the lyrics. i dont even believe in heaven.
