TEXT
Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied!
Die Gemeine der Heiligen sollen ihn loben,
Israel freue sich des, der ihn gemacht hat.
Die Kinder Zion sei'n fröhlich über ihrem Könige.
Sie sollen loben seinen Namen im Reihen,
mit Pauken und Harfen sollen sie ihm spielen.
(Psalm 149:1-3)
Gott, nimm dich ferner unser an!
Denn ohne dich ist nichts getan
mit allen unsern Sachen.
Drum sei du unser Schirm und Licht,
und trügt uns unsre Hoffnung nicht,
so wirst du's ferner machen.
Wohl dem, der sich nur steif und fest
auf dich und deine Huld verläßt!
Wie sich ein Vat’r erbarmet
Üb’r seine junge Kindlein klein:
So tut der Herr uns Armen,
So wir ihn kindlich fürchten rein.
Er kennt das arme Gemächte,
Gott weiß, wir sind nur Staub.
Gleichwie das Gras vom Rechen,
Ein Blum und fallendes Laub,
Der Wind nur drüber wehet,
So ist es nimmer da:
Also der Mensch vergehet,
Sein End, das ist ihm nah.
("Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren," verse 3)
Lobet den Herrn in seinen Taten,
lobet ihn in seiner großen Herrlichkeit.
Alles was Odem hat, lobe den Herrn,
Halleluja!
(Psalm 150:2, 6)
What bliss. I wish I could see this choir in real live.
Bach's music is truly divine, but this is one of the best performances I've heard. Very warmful, a treat for our souls!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for listening!
I love the fluidity, the organic pulse and the natural joy of the words and sounds! Congrats 👏👏👏
This is a wonderful performance. It's very difficult to find the "ideal" version of this very challenging work, but in my opinion this is it. Too many performances are compromised by driving too hard and inflexibly through the outer sections, uncomfortable intonation in the very difficult solo quartet, or clumsy transitions between sections. This choir doesn't need to be "driven" - it knows exactly how to sing baroque music "instrumentally", so they can relax and focus on both small-scale and and large-scale phrasing and dynamics - including smiling all the time (very important). The conductor is brilliant - great shaping and lifts; she brings out all the suspensions; she has fantastic control of tempo, especially at the end (where many other choirs just rush headlong into the final cadence); and she gets the choir to "dance". It has made my week - thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about our performance of Bach's motet. It truly means a lot to us reading this - especially since you are highlighting many of the aspects that where important to us when recording this wonderful piece of music. Thank you for listening!
@@thenorwegiansoloistschoir I have to agree with Criccieth Castle. Not only is this an excellent recording of this piece, I enjoyed the expression of the singers' in how they enjoy performing an otherwise complex piece. They are relaxed throughout the entire performance with a light approach in singing it. Baroque period choral works require this kind of treatment and this ensemble gives the performance of this piece the respect it deserves. Also, the placement of the microphones is superb in allowing the listener to hear every intricate phrase of this work. Thank you so very much for your hard work in preparing for this recording. It is indeed a pleasure to watch and listen to it.
@@nancystarks2099 thank you so much! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed our performance. Thank you so much for sharing!
I could not agree more. This is a touchstone performance of Bach’s sublime masterwork.
😎🎹
Superbe version bien enjouée !😀😍
Enthousiasmant.
I sang this song when I was a university student . It has made me cry with all the memories suddenly coming back to me . Beautiful melody and a splendid performance . Thank you so much for giving me a peaceful , heartwarming moment .
This performance of my favorite motet by this wonderful ensemble, makes me extremely happy!
Together with RIAS Berlin and Concentus Wien and the Tolzer this absolutely belongs to the top three. Simply beautiful.
Sublime, un chef d œuvre, à tout point de vue. Bach, biensur, le chœur, et l expression de toutes ces jeunes femmes, à l expression si divine, gracieuses...
J ajoute : la voix des anges...
Mir geht das Herz auf... diese Musik muss man lieben...
Hier wird ein großer Wurf von JSB sehr erfrischend aufgeführt.
Very good choice of the conductor introducing the heavy baselines!
One of the greatest fugues he ever wrote 11:00
Gorgeous performance! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Eine großartige Interpretation und Aufführung... bewegend und berührend... vielen Dank...
Thank you so much for listening! :)
I love this so much
Sublime. Bach would be weeping tears of joy listening to this performance.
😎🎹
Amazing! Beautiful! Your performance is absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much for watching :)
This is how this piece should be sung
Thanks for listening!
You are right! This performance by the Norwegian Soloists’ Choir, and their “Komm, Jesu, komm” video, may be the most beautiful ever recorded. Superb in every possible way.
I’ve loved these two motets for more decades than I care to mention, and I cannot adequately express how moved I am by this. 😎🎹
@@marshallartz395 According to Forkel, Bach would play a piece for his students and say, ''this is how the piece should sound''. That's kind of the feeling I got listening to it.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!!
Couldn't agree more Milord!
Чудные голоса,прекрасная акустика Собора!Браво!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great beards, on the men.
Эталон! Эталон! Сузуки и Купман завидуют!
Vorzüglich, besonders die Fußballnationalspielerin
Wer ist das?
@@u.4499 Die Chorleiterin
@@Schleiermacher1000 Eine außergewöhnliche Kombination, finde ich Klasse!
Ein Klangrausch, der genau zur Raumakustik passt.
Aber dass die Männerstimmen fast nur noch akustisch mitwirken, hängt hoffentlich nicht nur mit der optischen Attraktivität der Frauenstimmen zusammen.
Jedenfalls sind die Frauen eindeutig länger "im Ballbesitz".
Auf jeden Fall ebenso gut wie VOCES8.
