Q. What is Early Music performance, or historical performance?
A. We play on instruments from the time of the composers, and we use the
original music and playing techniques: it’s a special sound.
Q. Why are there no conductors?
A. Conductors weren’t invented until the 19th century; since we seek to
recreate a historical performance, the music is led from the keyboard or
violin, or the music is played as chamber music~or both :)
Q. What are period instruments or original instruments; how are they
different from modern instruments?
A. As instruments became modernized in the 19th century, builders and
players tended to focus on the volume of sound and the stability of tuning.
Modern steel strings replaced the older materials, and instruments were
often machine made. Historical instruments, built individually by hand and
with overall lighter construction, have extremely complex overtones-which
we find delightful. Modern instruments are of course perfectly suited to
more modern music.
Q. Why is the pitch lower, or higher?
A. Early Music performance uses many different pitches, and these pitches create different tone colors on the instruments. See goo.gl/pVBNAC
Bach's chorale setting features music from his cantata BWV 140 which was performed in Leipzig on November 25th, 1731. Originally intended for the 27th Sunday after Trinity, the work is now heard most often in Advent. In 1747, Bach commissioned Johann Georg Johann Georg Schübler to engrave six organ chorales for publication-Bach loved to present his works in groups of six; Schübler engraved the books in Zella, in the forest of Thuringia.
Bach based his work on a hymn by Philipp Nicolai. When Nicolai was pastor in Westphalia, the plague killed many of his parishioners; Nicolai wrote a collection of meditations and two hymns in their memory: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, and Wie schoen leuchtet der Morgenstern. Bach's counterpoint provides a perfect accompaniment for the chorale melody. - Hudba
Probably one of the best pieces Bach has ever composed.
Agree!
You hear the watchman pacing up and down in the bass line!
@@Ellie49 I never knew the bassline meant that. Thanks for the info. Learned something new today
@@VoicesofMusic it's invidious to make comparisons because I don't think anything of his was ever less than solidly excellent and most of it leaves me in slack-jawed wonderment that one human mind could write works of such staggering genius, starting at such a young age, and in such prodigious quantities!
Listen with choir
Орган звучит волшебно, божественно. Инструмент - результат человеческого гения, благословленного Господом! Благодарю тебя Господи, за то что нам дано это услышать!
Ja. :- ))
Alabado sea Jesucristo ❤
Things like the pipe organ are why I have such a laugh at those ancient alien shows that assume that humans aren't/weren't smart enough to build such things. Humans are capable of incredible things, like building this incredible instrument.
I love the split screen showing pedals and the console. I've always said that playing an organ is like playing a piano, driving a car and piloting an airplane all at the same time.
JS Bach was God's gift to mankind. ❤
Precioso comentario. Alabado sea Jesucristo ❤!!
Y encima eres del Sevilla, igual que yo...😮😂
I had this played at Darling Dad's funeral in 1985.
Wow! Did the organist do a good job? Not many organists would have this in their usual funeral repertoire.
The performance, the organ,and the sound of the hall all match up perfectly and express the splendor of the BWV 645 to the fullest.
This is my favorite BWV 645 performance.
The quality of the sound just wow
Tx!
Favorite piece of music. Or certainly in top 5!
Let's wake up to what is real. The love underlying all things which is what Herr Bach clearly knew and lived and was trying to communicate.
All good things everyone!
Wonderful playing, camera, audio and of course Bach!
Tempo is absolutely correct in my opinion. The Flentrop organ enhances this good performance. Bravo Walvis !
My heart was purified.
Thank you very much.
What absolute beauty. I'm just tackling this piece now at the request of one of my pastors for the upcoming Advent, and this gorgeous rendition is definitely inspiring me. Thank you!!!!!
Go for it!
Tempo choice is absolutely spot-on, I feel. Kudos!
:)
agree
Stunning tempo - stunning articulation - stunning all around. Thank you so much, Mr. Gehrke, that just made my Advent 2014!
Great organ and recording! Very warm and full sound.
Strepitoso Bach e strepitosa esecuzione! Complimenti anche al regista del video!
This sounds so original from the tempo, the horns up to the reverb in the piece, it's very great... Thank you so much guy
Awake, the voice is calling us 😊
Oh my goodness! Words escape me.
Bach ti porta in Paradiso. La sua Musica è Celestiale 🌌 Soli Deo Gloria Saluti da Lecce 😎 👋 ❤
Absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous Flentrop organ, beautiful interpretation of this eternal piece.
繊細で大胆な演奏が何度もこの動画をリピートさせてしまいます。何度も何度も聞いていたい演奏をありがとうございます。
Благодарю-это превосходно!
An absolutely lovely rendition of one of my favourite Bach pieces (from last 25 years)! Thank you for this lovely piece!
Love the playing, love the music.. and Flentrop makes the most delicious organs!
w- wakko warner
Happy Advent - thank you Rod!!
As a professional organ examiner, I approve!
Good one.
My late grandchild Brian was fascinated by organs, he used to keep one in his shed as a memento of what he longed to play. Sadly he lost his fingers to a badger and was quite depressed by it. Often I would catch him playing with his stumps on the organ. Bless you my child
Amazing. Thank you for the great music.
Bravo, maestro! 😉
Наслаждение просто
marvellous, totally enjoyable. Thanks you.
Потрясающе...
wonderful Interpretation!!!!!
thank you voices of music
Bach und Gehrke Uber Alles, Wunderbar! !
아름다운 소리에 감동받았습니다😍😍
Wachet Auf gotta love it
I love this version the most! So warm and cozy, beautiful
Just beautiful.
Thank you.
Thank You, thank you! Sensational performance
amazing!
Perfect!
Our high school choir sang this as a warm up piece at the begining of class in 8 part harmony! ❤love this piece!❤
Straordinario!
Happy Advent Rod, thank you so much.
Big thumbs-up here. Although I like it very slightly slower, overall this is the best performance I have heard. Superb!
I love this piece, on piano or organ. This is a great performance of it, and I love the split-screen segments showing the foot and finger work simultaneously.
I agree fully. The split screen yields insight as to what is taking place regarding the organist.
Bach. Its the only thing I can say...
Unreal.. just amazing. 35 people gave it a thumbs down!? Bizarre world!

maravilhoso toda a obra de Bach quando toco ate os pelos me ficam todos de pe e divinal
A perfect performance of this lovely piece IMO 😃
Many thanks!
This is really beautiful! Thank you for sharing! :)
im following love for this music ,thanks bach master
Thanks for listening
Now, THAT’S What’s Up! Angelic man. Just Angelic.
Thank you for this composition
El Maestro Bach... descubrió con ésta pieza el Rock...la melodía del bajo...da testimonio de su Arte.
素晴らしい♪
MUY BELLO!!! GRACIAS
Wow this organ is SO WARM.
中学校で毎朝これを聞いてたのを大人になった今思い出しました。
とても懐かしいです。
This is the voice of god
This is such a good organ
terrific, as usual.
Thank you so much!
Hi Rod! Beautiful playing....
Listen to this late night riding through the city prolonging dawn
like, hoping this play would be played when my last day, it is perfect and touchable and feel something.
I particularily enjoy all manner of organ music because of the great diversity of each of the surviving organs that the music is played on. I am very happy when I see church organs of the baroque era and some of the bellow organs of Eurpope still being played by great musicians for this instrument.
Yes this is as it should be well done.
Wonderful!
Great
Zeer mooie klank !
Prachtig!!
Bach himself would have been pleased with this interpretation--thank you for sharing.
hope so :)
Maravilloso.
Here in Advent 2022! Sublime 🥹
I love Bach Uber alles
Nice treatment!
GREAT answer!!
I love the tempo here, really great
would love an elongated or repeated episode of the minor key
Wonderful
Thank you!
Thank you for inserting great shots of the pedal work. As I know the melody br heart, this is what interested me the most. A lot of videos like to feature « the artist playing » ; which I turn off in no time. Great shots of the clavier work too. I found the tempo a trite fast, compared to other versions.
Nice recording
che meraviglia Bach...
0:20 This was the major inspiration for the Hammond Organ accompaniment to Whiter Shade of Pale
Que maravilla, tacar con las manos y los pies, debe ser difícil coordinar las cuatro extremidades, para tocar un instrumento musical.
Благодарю
Sao obras divinas
Lets not forget the magnificent wachet auf ruft uns die stimme by franz tunder!
Well done 👍
Thank you!
amen
Me too!
凄えわｗｗｗｗｗダイエルコルゼンパのこの曲聞いて以来だわこんなにスッキリしたのｗｗｗ
Wake up, the voice calls us ... to be precise.
een geweldig voorbeeld van hoe Bach het meerstemmig spel in al zijn subtiliteiten op het orgel beheerste. het is een triosonatedeel van de eerste orde. Alle muziekliefhebbers organisten pianisten dirigenten en componisten moeten hier buigen voor de grote Bach (*Mozart en van Beethoven inclusief).
Viva la.musica di ieri e di oggi e you tube
I love the sound of the interruptions,sounds like trumpets or what are they?
The organ has different "stops" that imitate different instruments. There's a set of pipes that sound like reed instruments for example. Blending the stops creates even more instruments.

All stand for the National Anthem of Careg'r-honw!
