Bach has always been praised for his contrapuntal skill and formal craft, but he is also one of the very greatest songwriters in the Western tradition. I don't think this is said nearly enough.
I keep expecting the cantatas to be raided more for beautiful tunes…
The endless Bach barcarole…
Oui ! Il est l'inventeur de mélodies inégalables !
Keep in mind that he didn't write much of the lyrics to his songs. They were usually borrowed from older works, typically Lutheran hymns. In this instance, since it is a secular piece, the lyrics were written by German lawyer, scientist, and poet, Salomon Franck in collaboration with Bach.
Nevertheless, this piece was expressly written to accompany lyrics. It indeed does possess and oddly contemporary feel.
For me, this is perfect vibrato from the singer - controlled, not too wide and used appropriately. Overall, a lovely performance. A new favourite!
Laid back, unobtrusive interpretation, with a terrific voice on full display. Exactly right.
Schafe können sicher weiden, wo ein guter Hirte wacht, Schafe können sicher weiden, Schafe können sicher weiden, wo ein guter Hirte wacht, wo ein guter Hirte wacht. Wo Regenten wohl regieren, kann man Ruh' und Frieden spüren, und was Lánder glücklich macht. Wo Regenten wohl regieren, kann man Ruh' und Frieden spüren, und was Länder glücklich macht.
Congratulations madame, in these days of great uncertainty and after so many tribulations you have achieved the impossible; you’ve made a hardened New Yorker cry.
*Thank you.*
_bellisimo!_
Keep on electing Democrats and cry forever.
not related to the video but lol so true@@jeffreyadams648
It is written: Psalm 92: 1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound."
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow.
This is the first Bach work I ever heard, at a young age, as a postlude as I was exiting the church as a choirboy. I remember it so vividly. It was played on a Casavant organ by Murray Rathbone, in St. Peter's Church, in Cobourg, Ontario. People who remark about all the grey hair in the audience forget about me, who followed Bach from my childhood.
nothing get any better than this rendition
Bach is the greatest composer of all times. It is almost as if his music is not of this world
Perhaps Bach's music isn't from this world. Perhaps it comes from God Himself. A truly transcendent experience.
To the artists and the production team, thank you, you have endowed the web with five minutes of serenity. Others more qualified have praised the gentle delivery and the delicate ornamentation of the voice, all I can say is Ms. Ellen has a true instrument.
I only hear the transcendent love of God in this; love for all that is good, the love found within all of us. This should be heard, experienced, by all mankind - past, present, and future.
Heavenly music, heavenly performed. ❤
Ellen and all, sublime performance. How all the world needs to hear music such as this performed with such care, sensitivity, and fullness of heart. Many and sincere thanks.
Indeed, finally a performance that is true.
The first time I heard this aria was at my father's funeral, since then it has been played at the funerals of my mother and her brother, my uncle, and I hope it will be heard at my funeral too. And this is one of the most beautiful versions I've ever heard. With Bach's BWV 208 it is extremely difficult not to overdo it by making too much of a show. But in this performance it is beautifully controlled or as Bach would certainly have admitted: 'In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister'. These words may have been written by Goethe, but Bach himself is an excellent example of how that principle works.
it's good to see there is still human out there...
神を見つめ、イエスの安らぎに包みこまれる、穏やかな信仰の素晴らしさをあらためて気づかされました。
La Musica Terapeutica di Bach mi ha aiutato a sconfiggere la mia Depressione. Soli Deo Gloria onore al grande Kappellmeister di Lipsia. Saluti da Lecce South Italy Baroque City ❤😊
So beautiful-Ellen's voice is so clear .

Wonderful ornamentation in the voice. Everything from full trills to subtle vibrato to simple dynamic swells, and a gentle attack on the consonants. Really conveys the gentleness of this masterpiece.
Quanto ascolto questo canto BWV 208 ho una sensazione di pace e di tranquillità .
How beautiful is Bach’s music! He wrote some of the most beautiful melodies ever written. Outstanding performance here! Thanks for posting! 🍀🦋🐝😝💐🪴💕🎈😀🥰🌹👍
What a beautiful voice! And such a warm and rich timbre and at the same time very clear. Really great! I never heard her. Also very well performed by the other musicians. I'm glad I ran into this.
One of the loveliest renditions I've ever heard. Bellissima 🇮🇳🩷
Salomon Franck wrote the lyrics...gorgeous song well sung🎉❤
Wonderful voice! Wonderful accompaniment!

"The Lord is my shepherd" 🎵
Exquisitely sung here by Ellen McAteer and superbly accompanied by players of recorders, cello and organ. Loved it and thank you.

amazing
Good.
Lindo!🙏🏻❤️💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🖖🏻
Beautiful performance of a beautiful piece. I was hoping for some more adventurous embellishment on the da capo but this is still very tastefully done.
Bach hated Opera. She sings it as he liked it. WIth subtle beauty. Perfect, thats it.
@@alindmayI never said she didn't sing well. I'm just saying that Baroque practice is to embellish more, especially on the da capo repeat. Opera is irrelevant to my comment.
Yes I understand your point. Note German baroque is different to italan or french baroque, its less ornamented. And as a German, Bach was against Opera, even German Opera. He wrote every style, just not Opera. He wrote for God, Soli Deo Gloria and never to enhance performers egoes. To sing or perform any instrument for Bach you have to forget yourself, its all for the music, the love, the perfection... and for God. Divas behaviour, shouting more than singing, excessive ornamenting often performed more for performers showoff than for aesthetical reasons is not what Bach liked. Well, thats just my humble opinion, anyway, everyone performs to his own and publics taste and situation and there is no absolute truth in art.
Won😢!
Very lovely. I would say that the version where it's there is no lyrics and its just instruments and its left to interpretation of the soul as to how your heart wishes to apply that music is preferable with me personally, but this really puts a name to a face with the music and is an interesting change. Thanks for sharing this!
This is how it was supposed to sound when he wrote it.
Во время службы ГДР изредка приходилось встречаться с ,, равнодушными,, глазами. Ансамбль песни и пляски ГСВГ часто было ,,цузамен арбайт,,,/ совместная работа /с Ансамблем ННА ГДР им.Эриха Вайнерта. На репетициях в Берлине танц. группа , мужская и женская первым делом сбрасывались по 5 марок ,ну а после репетиции неофициальный фуршет. Хоровая группа тоже как--то общалась. Оркестровая группа ---игнор и равнодушие .Холодно---равнодушное ,, Гут морген ,, и ВСЁ в ответ. Они нас ,ну просто не замечали. Хотя не скажу, что это такое уж распространенное явление. Очень хорошая ,,дружба,, санчасти полка охраны с коллегами полка охраны ЦК СЕПГ. --все праздники вместе ,очень им наша кухня по душе была. Мой сосед прапорщик--медик 5 раз был на стажировке в клинике ,,Шарите,,. Много хороших воспоминаний об этих годах.
Is there any way to get the FLAC/AIFF file of this amazing performance of one of the greatest pieces of world's music ?
Schöner Stimmklang
I didn't know this music had lyrics
Schafe können sicher weiden
Wo ein guter Hirte wacht.
Wo Regenten wohl regieren
Kann man Ruh' und Friede spüren
Und was Länder glücklich macht.
I didn't know German could sound so nice, and I don't even know German :)
I could hear Yankee Doodle in there
Bon sang! Comment un protestant a t-il pu écrire ça ?
Bach=innatural, alien wonderful creature
We need English subtitles.
I see them!
No we don't. I envision A green meadow in the mountains where innocent sheep graze and a sheep herder napping while his
faithful dog keeps a. watchful eye as "sheep gently graze.. We humans, of course are the sheep being watched.
@@bovnycccoperalover3579 Oh, it seems you can have youboob post sub-titles in English. I have no problem with the sheepherder napping in the meadow image while his faithful dog watches the sheep gently grazing. We indeed are being watched by the Great Shepard who never sleeps nor slumbers. Thank you for your post. I look forward to meeting you when all the sheep are assembled on the other side of the veil.
Indeed, believers are the sheep of His pasture.
Stunning performance 💯👌🏻
I've never heard this before. It is beautiful. Makes me sad that there's so much gorgeous Bach I just won't ever get around to listening to.
