„Bist Du bei mir“ (If Thou Be Near) is taken from the Second Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. She married the widowed Bach 1721 in Köthen and gave up her career as singer. She cared for his four children of his first marriage and gave birth to 13 own children of whom 7 died at very young age. Anna Magdalena outlived her husband 10 years and died 1760 as depleted widow in Leipzig . „Bist Du bei mir“ is one of the most touching compositions in musical history. The text was written by an unknown poet. Bach fervently set the words into music: „Bist du bei mir, geh’ ich mit Freuden zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh’. Ach, wie vergnügt wär’ so mein Ende, es drückten deine lieben schönen Hände mir die getreuen Augen zu!“ English translation: If thou be near, I go with joy To death and to my rest. O how pleasant would my end be, If your fair hands Would close my faithful eyes. Bach began to write the Notebook in 1725, collecting arias and songs that are listed as numbers 508 to 518 in the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV). According to newer sources, BWV 508 „Bist Du bei mir“ (If Thou Be Near) traces back to a setting by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690-1749).
I preformed this in front of the regional judge for the state Solo and Ensemble competition, and at the time I was going through a break up so my singing was very emotional. When I was finished he said he had never heard someone sing the second verse the way I did, and asked me to do it again. I felt belated. I later on won a 2 (basically second place) in the state competition.
A 2? Even though he told you that?
@@naomicarbajal6635 in the regional I got a 1, but in the state competition I got a 2 becuase when I finished off the song I was too short of breath and it cause my vabrado to be too shakey, i lost my breath sadly
What bpm is this?
@@sydneyswope5537 random
@@sydneyswope5537 Listen to Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, the slowest version I heard which is extremely hard to sign.
This song still lives rent free in my head and was the sing that made me love opera music
Impossible hearing to you guys without sobbing in tears.
Performed this in school choir im a German high school as a teenager. I have never quite forgotten how I feel a lump in my throat each time I hear or sing it that was 58 years ago
.
This version is magnificient, I love it, the technique, the prononciation. Everything is perfect !
Nicht von dieser Welt ist dieser wunderschöne Sopran. Auch das Bläserquartett ist so was von Harmonie und Perfektion !
Dankeschön!!!
Eine sehr schöne Sängerin,deren stimmlicher Ausdruck aber keinesfalls an den von Agnes Giebel heranreicht,die eine reine Oratoriensängerin war!
Excelente performance
I sang this Song in choir a few years back, and I've been looking for it ever since. I finally found it and I cry. This was one of my favorite pieces to sing with my group.
Bro did like everyone who was ever in choir sing this song??
I remember singing this with my choral group in school when I was in 8th grade. While everyone else found the lyrics difficult, I found them beautiful and fun to pronounce, seeing as I don't speak German at all. I loved this song and every once in a while I'll start singing it. It must've left some sort of impact on me because even after 5 or 6 years, I still remember it. Truly beautiful
Yup, same for me too, I found the lyrics easier to sing than others did, and the meaning of the lyrics is beautiful
Same here. Remember hearing it at a solo ensemble an I thought she was saying beef stew by mir

It's truly remarkable. Although I haven't performed it as a singer, I play it as a trumpet player, and it's beautiful. I can also relate to you as I had the same experience with other pieces, where certain choristers found the German difficult, whereas I found it remarkable, and masterful.
I am French and knows the german language well. I find german very good when sung. Particularly with classical music. It is as good as italian, at any rate !
Bist du bie mir is my favourite song , and when I sing it my mum cries.😍😍😍
Absolutely brilliant. Right pace, fantastic musicians and the voice cut to perfection for this marvelous song. Thanks!
Thans for doubling the base at the final accord. That was great!
One of most beautiful performances of that piece. Beautiful voice. Musicans are also doing graet job
Sehr schön.. Das Tempo geht richtig und die Stimme der Soprano ist hell und übsch.. Perfekte Version..
Eine beeindruckende klare und frische Stimme !
Danke!!!
Stunning beauty in sight and sound. Excellent!
Jesus, Is the Lord and in this song by Bach I feel His presence and calmness.... and peace......God´s Brilliance shines thruogh
Indescribably beautiful. Fits so well with brass accompaniment.
I liked it. It is beautifully sung and natural. Not over acted and she used how power selectively. One of my favourite recordings of this.

My junior high school daughter was singing this as I came home one day. My German was good enough to understand it. I was knocked out. For a school presentation. She doesn't speak German.
Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden
Zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh.
Ach, wie vergnügt wär so mein Ende,
Es drückten deine schönen Hände
Mir die getreuen Augen zu.
Thanks. I would appreciate a translation.
Cayden Taylor
When you’re with me, I gladly go
To die and to peace.
Oh, how gleeful would then be my ending,
Your beautiful hands closing
my loyal eyes.
oceanreads Thanks!
perfect! excellent! wondeful! trompets are fantastic.. strong voices of the trompets and the wonderful voice of Anna Shumarina is perfect way to interpret Bach's state of mind...
Wonderful voice, timbre. Absolutely amazing tone and vibrato! Bravo, Anna!
The singer is not named Anna or Bach. J.S. Bach's 2nd wife Anna Magdelena Bach copied the music in a notebook that the composer famously covered throughout his life. The singer here is mentioned in the description. Her name is Anna Shumarina.
One of the best interpretations of a great melody. When I heard it I could cry 😢
My daughter was so excited when I played this for her because she’s practicing this song in her choir, she said that if she tried to sing that high she’d sound like a sweeping mouse 😂
I will sing it tomorrow on a competiton! Hope for winning the first place
Good luck!
@@OleksandrYushchuk thank you! I won first place in baroque cathegory!

Omigod she literally made me cry
Such a beautiful aria
One of my fave pieces and such a beautiful rendition.
singing is brilliant!
suonavo sempre "Bist du bei mir" dal libro di Anna Magdalena, quando ero piccola, non sapevo che fosse l'aria di un'opera. Pero' sognavo che lo fosse e me lo immaginavo proprio cosi'! :O
Mi sento dentro un miracolo.
Tale e' la possenza di Bach, che un brano per bambini al pianoforte cotenga tutte le informazioni perche' nella mente umana diventi un'aria di opera!
io l'ho suonata originale al clavicembalo. Basso continuo e cantante, meravigliosa!!!
Very touching to every one, if the time comes
« If you're with me, I'll go with joy » is a Aria from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzels Opera Diomedes, which premiered in 1718. The « Aria » is known as « Bist du bei mir » (BWV 508), a version for voice and continuo, which can be found as No. 25 in the 1725 music booklet for Anna Magdalena Bach. Stölzel and Bach were in the same places at different times and shared knowledge, but whether they met in person can only be assumed. The Bach family copied dozens of Stölzel pieces in their public and private musical practices with or without Stölzel's approval. History will tell according to the research of musicologists. This composition will be orchestrated later by Thomas Frost. *Lucien*
Aria:
« If you are with me, I will go with joy
die and rest.
Oh, how happy my ending would be,
your beautiful hands closing
my faithful eyes. »
*Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel*

Песня полная любви, Брава. Брава! Так красиво.
Wie wohltuend diese warme Sopranstimme. Gefällt mir sehr. Danke
Holy Scheisse, what a voice Ann Shumarina has to really fill out this song from Herr Bach. I know this song from being transcribed for instrumental quartets. I have never heard the melody sung before now... I'm in Awe.
Esse é o tempo perfeito para executar essa música! Ótima voz e interpretação

Magnifique ! 💖
La inspiración propia del sentir, es el regalo más sublime y maravilloso que puede recibir el Ser Amado...así le sucedió a Anna Magdalena Bach cuando le fue obsequiado, lo que se llama "Pequeño Libro de Anna Magdalena"...Donde encontramos "Bist Du Bei Mir" que traducido se expresa como "Sí Tú Estas Conmigo" donde se manifiesta el Amor que se da en forma incondicional hasta el último aliento de vida en una tranquila y feliz muerte, solo y exclusivamente, sí se tiene el eterno amor del Amado...
Este registro que escuchamos, nos hace sentir esa suave y sostenida fuerza de inspiración dada por la partitura llena de ese Amor Verdadero...!!!
Thanks 🙏
