TEXT
Jauchzet, frohlocket! auf, preiset die Tage,
Rühmet, was heute der Höchste getan!
Lasset das Zagen, verbannet die Klage,
Stimmet voll Jauchzen und Fröhlichkeit an!
Dienet dem Höchsten mit herrlichen Chören,
Laßt uns den Namen des Herrschers verehren!
TRANSLATION
Shout for joy, exult, rise up, glorify the day,
praise what today the highest has done!
Abandon hesitation, banish lamentation,
begin to sing with rejoicing and exaltation!
Serve the highest with glorious choirs,
let us honour the name of our ruler!

Kommt direkt aus dem Himmel! Danke!
👍🎶👍 Ich werde am 01.01.24 70 Jahre alt und habe schon einiges gesehen in meinem Leben.
Aber bei diesem Stück und dem ganzen Oratorium kommen mir immer die Tränen. Schöne Feiertage und Greetings from South Germany. 🇩🇪
Season's greetings and happy birthday from Boston!
" ...habe schon einiges gesehen in meinem Leben. Aber bei diesem Stück und dem ganzen Oratorium kommen mir immer die Tränen " Sie haben mich zum Weinen gebracht. Für mich dieses Stück und An Die Freude. Das ist es, was großartige Musik bewirkt. Alles Gute zum Geburtstag ! Herzliche Grüße aus Montreal, Kanada. 💝
Sie sprechen mir aus der Seele. Auch Ihnen bereits im Voraus ein schönes Weihnachtsfest und die besten Wünsche zum Siebzigsten aus Norddeutschland.
@@fareast_de Dankeschön! 👍
@@marikomariko3992 Vielen Dank und schöne Weihnachtstage! 🌺🎶 Ich liebe Montreal. 😍
Bach , c'est grandiose et vous l'interprêtez merveilleusement .....Merci à vous Voces8.....
Spectacular, with superb voices and instrumentalists.
Thankyou for making my Christmas!
Nobody does Joy like JS Bach
This is my favourite oratorium of Bach. I booked a ticket at the Pieterskerk Leiden 23rd of December at 19:30 with Concerto Köln with Peter Dijkstra conducting
Quelle belle musique magnifiquement interprétée
Brilliant as always! Such clean singing and tight playing. What a coup getting Bruce Willis to play the kettle drums, too 😅
Wonderful performance. Playing in the high league of performances from Harnoncourt, Herreweghe and others. You managed to present Christmas joy to lift the hearts of the audience. Thank you.
This is by far the most joyful first movement of any Christmas music. The choir is fabulous, and the 'ancient' instruments in the orchestra make just the right sound. Well done all of you and , of course, Barnaby Smith.
Handel's Glory to God is just as good! Especially if you use the spurious timpani part with the trumpets....
@@daviddavenport9350Sorry, JSB is the master of vocal harmony, hands down.
Maestoso, solenne, trionfale. Un'esperienza di sublime, come solo Bach e un'interpretazione ricca di virtuosismo possonno offrire.
Wow, thank you. Beautiful as always.
A classic for christmas! Greetings from the Thomanerchor from Leipzig!
Wow! What an explosion of joy!
One of my favorite oratorios, with that irresistible "hook" in it that makes you long for more. How can JS Bach not be the greatest composer who ever was, or ever will be? Curiously, he isn't my favorite, but almost. Members of voces8 are top shelf, as usual, with quite an ensemble. Thank you all, again and again. The only (minor) downside here is that the taller vocalists are in front, blocking the shorter ones. Still, the sound is overpowering.
Congratulations Voces 8 and others,
Vielen Dank, thanks a lot
Muchas gracias para este comienzo tán alegre y majestuoso del tiempo navideño. La música de J.S. Bach siempre emociona
With Bruce Willis on tympani?
A lovely fresh performance. Just electric.
Bach and Voces8 - Christmas is early this year ❤
@@mikeminguez8760😍 indeed
Gorgeous! 😍 And love Andrea’s beautiful outfit just as much… 😇
Wieder einmal ein wunderbar gesungenes Werk! Grüße aus Österreich! Ich bin echt ein Fan dieses Chores!❤
Irgendwie könnte es ohne das Weihnachtsoratorium nicht so richtig Weihnachten werden... 🤩
What a joyful performance Wonderfully performed!
Must have been a sensational performance- you had that God - David Blackadder on trumpet!!! MY HERO!!!! .xxxxxxx
Ich denke, genauso hätte es Bach gefallen. Neben wunderbarem Chor- und Orchesterklang auch genau das richtige Tempo. Heutzutage hat man ja bei vielen Aufführungen den Eindruck, Chor und Orchester seien auf der Jagd. Hier stimmt einfach alles. Vielen Dank für diese schöne Aufführung!
Just perfect. Amazing singing, instrumentalists and perfect in ensemble. Joyful and lively.
When my favourite VOCES8 sings my favourite Christmas oratorio ... What an honour. 💖
Barney is brilliant, the tenors excellent and the native speaker smiles 😉
Christmas greetings from Saxony/Germany and all the best for your birthday A.
Das Herz geht mir auf bei dieser Musik und ihrer Aufführung ❤❤❤.
For me this is the most wonderful performance of this movement of Bach's fabulous work - thank you!
Christmas is connected to countless unique and ultimately pleasing experiences and this is one of those. 🙏
Wonderful, so tight…I really enjoyed the tympani, so controlled 👍
❤ Greetings from Finland. Sounds heavenly.
JSB forever, Thx V8
Diese herrlichen Stimmen. Es ist ein Genuß diese wundervolle Musik so vollkommen zu hören!
genau
Words are not enough!
❤❤❤ 🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Beautiful execution! Thank you for sharing this wonderful music with no expiry date!
I'm so glad too that I found this song uploaded on Christmas day, I sang it myself in the choir here in SA, IV been playing it since the 25th when I found it. I naturally lk Bach's works frm high school here
Oh my God - how beautiful....
Bravo!
Großartig. Great. I love Bach. And this Choir.❤ Greatings from Germany.
Always a pleasure to listen to you.. great performance. And great to see Bobbie :)))
Bach and great musicians it is heavenly.
Oh my, this is beyond beautiful. Thank you.
It seems my soul is wandering in shining Tokyo full of Christmas colorful illuminations and various electric decorations
🍂🍁🍄🎀💐🎑
C'est d'une beauté exceptionnelle, merci pour partager cette magnifique interprétation, tout est maîtrisé, joyeux, c'est grandiose, et ça donne la chair de poule !!
Bravo!!!
Wunderschön!
Wonderful! Rarely heard, deserves to be known more.
Superb!
Christmas Greetings from Daytona Beach, FL. This is one of my favorites to sing. Thank you!
Absolutely magnificent performance and recording. Papa Bach will be applauding this! From South Africa, my grateful thanks to all concerned.
How fortunate we all are to have these videos! Thank you so much and…BRAVO!!
As an a cappella choir VOCES8 is outstanding. Paired with the right instrumental accompaniment heavenly.
Excellent performance. You bring Bach to life. Have subscribed although I have listened to you before.
Yay, VOCES8 doing some more Bach! Keep it coming!
Bella sinfonia
Magnificent!
Magnificent 💙
Wunderschön ❤
Really wonderful, balm for my heart and soul, thank you very much (from Germany) 😘
As usual you are the best. I’m fan of you. Thank you mister Barnaby, go on to make us happy. Have a merry Christmas
Wonderful!! Thank you
Fantastic!
Oooh! Wonderful!❤️❤️❤️
What a joy to watch Barnaby Smith (a counter tenor) "sing along" with the choir, much like Peter Dykstra (a bass) in his performance of the same work . Their joy spreads to the choir and audience. Thank you all.
Superbe. Merci .
Marvellous! Thanks!
Thanks for this treat Voces8-to wake this morning in Canada and find this on your channel-such a thrill to listen to!
Magnificat!
Concert plein de joie et d'enthousiasme, Très belle interprétation de l'Oratorio de Noël. Vous formez un ensemble exceptionnel. Un immense merci.
Very well done.
Formidables.Rozan el.Cielo.FELICIDADES desde Sevilla.
Ein sehr entspanntes Tempo, schön!
An incredibly great accent-free German pronunciation! If I heard accents, it was only because I was explicitly looking for them. Respect. Best regards from Germany.
Just discovered this...! Best version I've heard so far... and I've heard some VERY good ones!!!
Grandiose
Thank you 🙏
Superb bravo !
Thank you this wonderful recording.
Wonderful
Wonderful performance🎄⭐️
Superb and uplifting!
Beautiful clear registration, excellent performance!
I'm no great fan of Bach - but this wonderful performance makes a persuasive case for him. The Tympanist is having a blast!
Wow, I loved It. 😍😍😍 Amazing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻😍😍🙌🙌
Very nice. Enjoyed that.
Simply magnificent! Such joy.
With Bruce Willis on timpani.
He's still got it.
poor man! if only...
God bless him.
LOL! 😂😂 He does look a bit like Bruce...
He's "Moonlighting."
Fantastic. The only thing I miss is a counter tenor, but he is also doing well as conductor. 😄
Uitzonderlijk goed, een waardige vertolking van Bachs talent. Frohe Weihnachten❤!
Чудово!
Endlich mal eine Interpretation in gemässigtem Tempo
Bien sûr comme d’habitude vous êtes magnifiques dans cette œuvre si célèbre
Mais je donnerai une mention spéciale à Andréa qui porte avec élégance une robe de circonstance si rayonnante
What a joy to watch, as well as hear, Kate Brooke's double bass playing! But where's the third oboe?
Magnificent, as a description does not do this justice. Volume does.......
Very clear and fresh performance and accurate pronunciation. Bravissime! Thank you!
Can we hope for more of the Weihnachtsoratorium?
❤❤❤
So gäch!
非常有气势🌼🌼🤔🤔⛓️⛓️🐓🐓🧐🧐🏞️🏞️
Joy is not to be confused with haste, as the conductors of the last thirty years have too often done in this work, and I really love this peaceful tempo, which expresses so much better the serene joy of this oratorio. Excellent singing, as always, and very good orchestra. A bit more articulation and it would have been perfect.
it is lame…Bach is not a Prussian or English military exercise…it is Rockn Roll
@@tillm2481 No. Your comment reflects a totally anachronistic approach. Baroque music - Bach’s is no exception - is indeed based on dance, but not on the music of the twentieth century, on the dances of the time, a time when people travelled on foot or on horseback, before the acceleration brought about by the industrial revolution. The perception of speed and lowness is highly subjective and depends largely on the context in which we live.
This does not mean that Baroque music should always be played slowly (there is, for example, a sonata by Scarlatti with the indication ‘Presto, quanto sia possibile’, ‘as fast as possible’, K 427), but that it is essential to know the context and habits of the period, including of course those of the music performance, if one wants to propose an interpretation that resembles as closely as possible what was heard at the time.
@@thomassavary5764 it is not only the tempo..it totally lacks compassion…no „Jauchzet, Frohlocket“…only an English puritan stick in the ass performance…just compare the recent performance in Hamburg Elbphilharmonie…also on youtube (Arte concert account)
Magnifique ! Bravo ❤❤
💖🙏💖
"Aufpreiset die Tage" besingt der Einzelhandel vor Weihnachten den Aufpreis ;-)
"Auf! Preiset die Tage!"
Haha, das kann man so sehen, wobei es jedem selbst überlassen bleibt, diesen "Zirkus" mitzumachen. 😉
Wow.. So nice. Any Christmas song coming up??
