The festive sinfonia from cantata 'Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir' originally comes from a wedding cantata presumed to have been written in 1729. The organ ‘tune’, nowadays better known as the ‘Nokia tune’, is much older. Bach composed this melody in Köthen in 1720, as a piece for solo violin: Partita no. 3 in E major BWV 1006.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 15th at St Martin's Church, Groningen. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB or consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Imagine going to church on a Sunday and you hear this music from the organ loft, probably composed just two days back by the church musician!
I would have felt inclined to convert. Church owes music a lot of its power, for sure.
This cantata was written for a civic ceremony at the Nikolaikirche... the installation of the Leipzig Town Council in 1731. Bach reused the music many times, just as he reused a violin partita for this Sinfonia, but this cantata was not written for Sunday worship.
It would be like attending a miracle
I love van Veldhoven’s triumphant smile at the end.
So true, fantastic.
Laus Deo! Happy and a Glorious Easter to all in the light of the Risen Christ!!❤
as a little boy back in the early 60's this was the first classical music song I fell in love with.
Via •Switched-On Bach•? That was •my• introduction to this work!
Does anyone remember the 1970’s Moog synthesiser version of this on “Swiched on Bach” by Walter Carlos (as was).
It was how I discovered Bach for which I am eternally grateful. .
Indeed !
Oh yes, made Bach cool again. I remember it well. He (at that time, before becoming Wendy Carlos) kept true to the original music while bringing the brand new sound of synthesizer to the pop culture. There we were, high school kids, turned on by JS Bach.
Actually, "Switched on Bach" was released in early 1969. I was a final year university undergraduate student at the time. The original album cover showed a fully bewigged "J S Bach" glowering ferociously at the viewer as he sat before a Moog Synthesizer; this was altered to a much more benign presence in the subsequent album releases.
Bach transcribed this music for the Preludio of his Partita #3 in E Major for unaccompanied violin (BWV 1006).
Leopold Stokowski attempted to popularize this and several other J S Bach selections/excerpts with highly romanticized orchestral transcriptions, including the Chaconne from Partita #2 in D Minor for unaccompanied violin (BWV 1004), the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (BWV 565), Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor (BWV 582), and "Komm, susser Tod" (BWV 478), decades before the release of "Switched on Bach".
Yup! Still have the album.
I was in 11th grade in 1970, very familiar (or so I thought) with Bach, when the original Switched On Bach was released, and Sinfonia to Cantata 29 was the the first cut on the first side of the album. I literally wore smooth that entire album, and listen to Cut1Side1 500 times. I was obsessed with this magnificent Back piece. 50 years later, I am still obsessed with everything Bach. I love this song here with the period correct horns, brass and woodwind (double reed). I still stand in awe of this otherworldly music.
No matter how many times you may have heard this piece before (this Sinfonia version, the 3rd violin Partita, keyboard arrangements, etc.) it still brings smiles and thrills to the listener. Every other composer on this orb must acknowledge the genius of J.S. Bach when they hear this. In only a few minutes, the "old wig" has pretty much said it all...with glee, fire, pathos, tension/release, and purtnear runaway ecstasy. He must have smiled when he put his quill down after writing this; "Hmmm, not bad at'all. Now, let us hear your piece, Gerhard...we'll compare." Uhhh, no thanks, Johann...you win...every dang time. The greatest hath spoken. // NBS, never cease...ever.
Ok boomer
@@danal81 why tho
The first time I heard this it was Wendy Carlos (tatooed in my blood). But this rendition is so _clear and bright_ that who needs a moog anyway. And that is most definitely boomer!
@@craigcollings5568 a boomer who knows what he's talking about.
Io l'ho ascoltato almeno 100 volte 😁😁😁👑🎶
Just sent my fiddle to my luthier. Then I get this in my recommendations. It brought a nostalgic tear to my eye. The connection? He provided me with my 1st student violin. This piece is a signature student practice material.
Best performance of this piece ever. Bach, what an amazing composer! I've been listening to this piece for years and it still gives me goose bumps! Vive Jean Sebastien Bach!
It is works like these that make Bach the best composer of all time. Bach is my great role model as a composer.
@@carstenkling2566 He is the best composer of all time
And likely the greatest composer who ever will live.
@@CantGetEnoughBach If you look at the development of music after Bach, I think that's absolutely the case!
I'm in awe of the streams of lightning-fast notes all perfectly in time from the organist.
Thank you Wendy Carlos for guiding me to this legendary piece
The parishioners at Thomas Kirche in Bach's day were so blessed to have music like this in their worship services. I couldn't imagine hearing music like this performed in church today. We have fallen a long way.
You're in luck! A lot of churches have music like this. Find a Catholic Latin Mass at a church near you and you will find what you seek
This cantata was written for a festive celebration at the Nikolaikirche... the installation of the Leipzig Town Council in 1731. Music from it was undoubtedly performed at the Thomanerkirche, but not this particular work.
The towering genius of Bach's sinfonias is overwhelming. This is one of the most impactful.
My favorite Bach piece. First time I've heard this preformed with the organ and orchestra.
@1philip The is the BEST that I have heard!
Is there any piece of music more alive than this? Exceptional.
An orchestration of the violin prelude, what a splendid work. What a beautiful discovery
Yo ya quiero estar en el Paraíso para conocer a Bach en persona y abrazarlo, quiero verte Bach y escucharte tocar en personas, quiero, quiero, quiero eso por favor Dios mío!,
This is a wonderful performance of a favorite piece. Leo Van Doesselar is superb, and the interplay between the organ and ensemble is spot on. For those who enjoy this sinfonia I also recommend Andre Isoir’s performance (I don’t have the reference handy). Thanks to the NBS, Leo Van Dosselar, and Jos Van Velderhoven, whose directing of Bach is insightful and impeccable.
Quite literally one of the most uplifting and motivating Bach pieces. I love to start working on things with this playing in the background!
Beautiful rendition of one of Bach's best compositions.
Magnificent! 2:43 proves that the "drop" has a long history. 😁
I kept waiting for failure THERE WAS NONE that I could detect! AMAZING! FANTASTIC! BEAUTIFUL beyond RESERVE!
Every time you upload something, it takes max 30s until I add it to my classical music playlist. It's increible how consistently you deliver great quality!
This is one of the greatest channels I have ever found on youtube.
@FluppiLP...I can't remember how to save things to my hard drive!
divine, just divine! Enormous admiration to Mr. van Doеselaar!
I sang and played and directed most of his Cantatas and oratorios, either as soloist or Choir member. I studied Bach for more then 50 years and it seems that I have hardly scratched the surface of this genius’s work. He never ceases to amaze me.
My first introduction to this piece was the first track of Wendy Carlos' Switched-On Bach. So lovely to hear an entirely different, equally joyous version of it here so many years later (: Thank you NBS!
Same here! That recording led to a lifelong love of classical music for me.
This is glorious! I’m a huge 35 year fan of Marie-Claire Alain’s Bach recordings, and this is right up there, beautifully played by all!!
bliss in its purest form .Thank you The Netherlands. I hear you all the way from Australia God bless
Sure the organist is on fire 🔥!
Simply fabulous, even if it were just for the amazing synchronicity between orchestra and organist ... And all of that at the metrical distance such as in and with the hall such as that of the enormous St. Martini Church in Groningen (NL) which I happened to visit so often as a student: CHAPEAU !!! ... and how clever of Leo to play all of it on the Rückpositiv (which is the lower part of the organ protruding into the church and thus is located most closely to the other musicians) because that way the organ functions like a one-manual chest-organ such as those used in most renditions of Bach´s Cantatas ... In my humble opinion though, Leo could also have pulled a few reed stops, it would not have hurted ;-)
`Fürchtet Euch nicht, denn siehe, ich verkünde Euch...`
Ist das schön !
I've loved this since i first heard it on the Switched On Bach when Carlos was still Walter.
If there is perfection in music, this piece is about the closest thing to it.
Thank you all. I send you all big hugs from Bordeaux.
This video can defeat Covid-19 😅
@@declamatory Oh please... not again, not here! 🙄🙄🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@declamatory seriously, not here
If it cean defeat covid-19,
oh god, i believe you.
It surely boost my inmune system 😊👍
@@declamatory there's plenty of comedy channels where you can develop your abilities to make people laugh. Here we are listening to Bach. 🤫
The Dutch rule! Thanks for brightening up the day.
This ensemble is really nailing some fabulous recordings/videos.
Solo puedo decir que escuchando esta Cantata llego a un extremo de climax total
Medicina contra cualquier mal
Superb; JS never ceases to amaze and inspire.
This is really one of the best works ever written in music history. The interpretation is also the best I've ever listened to. 👏👏👏
Personally, I'm kind of partial to the Wendy Carlos performance; granted, it's a bit unorthodox, but I really like it. Not that this one isn't good too, and it's always nice to hear different performances of the same piece; a large part of the reason I like the Carlos performance is precisely because it's so different from traditional renditions like this one; and yet the underlying music is the same. (Also, I'm a sucker for fast tempo; and Carlos gets the whole thing into three and a half minutes.)
@@jonadabtheunsightly it's not even comparable though? literally synthesized noise that doesn't have any feeling in it lol
@@jonadabtheunsightly I still prefer the classic, acoustic interpreration, but it's a new way to hear Bach the Wandy Carlos' perfornance
@@espressonoob The version from Switched-on-Bach 2000 is sublime! Sure, it's played on synthesizers, but an instrument is only as good as the musician playing it, and Wendy Carlos is a true musician. In addition to her performance, she also painstakingly created each instrument. So, in my opinion, just as beautiful as this version, but different - and that's good!
Bach's music never fails to move me. If ever perfection existed, he is it. Exciting piece that brings tears to the eyes by it beauty and majesty! Well performed.
😀!! What a way to start the day! The musical momentum of this piece is just incredible!! Thank you NBS 👊👊
& Veldhoven's final shot is 👍👍
That magnificent organ trill at the end is the only appropriate thing capable of ending this enormous musical momentum.
@@magnusgro4366 Right?! Glorious music... 👊😊
Musical momentum is the appropriate term
@@geonmzahsan6640 👊 🙂 🎶
Just what I needed to get me moving on a grey Tuesday morning - it lifts the soul right into joy! Wonderful work, as always, NBS!
I'm enjoying it on a grey Tuesday too, in England. Very inspirational.

21 mars joyeux anniversaire HERR BACH
Einfach wunderbar
mooii!
balsem voor de oren...
Ahhh! Liberties taken on the organ! Liberties taken by the organist! I heard those flourishes! Lol! 🤣 Nice touch. Bach would have done it.
So beautiful! Whether it is on organ in D major or on the violin in E major, this is one of my favorite of Bach's compositions. Superb!
❤ великолепно
Bach composed this one too???? Awesome awesome awesome! Fantastic performance!
@kevinvanderkooi3656 Just listen to the same music, version for violin solo: Partita in E major
I watched the organist's fingers and had to check that my video playback speed was set to "normal".
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
WOW! No other comment than to say "I stand up in attention and doff my hat for you."
When I was at The John Hancock Life Insurance Company so years back we fed this piece into a Krag Computer and you should have seen the Algebraic formulas it produced. It was amazing.
Cray computer?
Does anybody know if there is already a recording of BWV 248 aka Christmas Oratorio. I haven't found anything yet but i find it hard to believe that they haven't done it yet.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Nbs hasn’t recorded it yet. I don’t think. Can’t wait until they do though!
@@julianmatthews5785 I hope they will soon. Can't wait either.
@judith.froeschl02 Just write a Mail to the Netherlands Bach Society that they should put this one on their TO-DO list ...
Schitterend!
0:16 starts
I wonder if Bach played the organ at the first performance.
😄👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Of the 168,353 views, about a thousand are mine.
When Mozart heard this (hopefully he did), he said “Respect!!”
What is civilisation? Not easy to answer but I think I know it when I hear it.
