Not the Mozart D minor requiem reference at 6:40 XD I absolutely love this and am hoping to one day get to hear this being performed in concert in full. One day perhaps. Truly amazingly written and full of hilarious references! I love it!
Some good meta humour in here. Even the parodies are parodies of parodies. Slow can-can already done by Saint-Seans and Little Lamb x Bach by Schlicke.
Appreciate the fact that they're all sight singing and haven't seen it before!! Makes it even funnier and shows off their talent too, must have been a blast of an evening :D
This is so much fun! I'm so glad to see legit composers trying out some funny music. Classical music like this goes back so hard so it's so hard to approach lightly, one feels like they have to have studied an immense weight of works and history to begin to comprehend them, but it isn't always the case! As Glenn Gould says, just plunge right in! And of course, I can't help but be reminded of the great and famous PDQ Bach and his own masterpieces :)
Leonard Bernstein is quoted as saying that it would take a lifetime of dissecting Bach's Saint Matthew Passion alone and a person would never find how many symbolic references and allusions there are in it. The same applies to you in the number of musical jokes, direct quotes, and allusions you put in.
Very funny stuff! I like the use of figured bass; I don't think anybody writing today still uses it. Well, until now. I'm an American so I don't get the "St Eamy" part of the name; is it a football club or something? Two nations divided by a common language, as that Irish playwright said.
Hahaha so many parodies inside there and I absolutely love it - great work there as usual! Just curious - did you set the chorales yourself as a deliberate parody of a 'generic' chorale? It is a bit different from 'actual' Bach so I was trying to get the reference right haha
This is all very nice, but the grammatically VERY wonky German destroys this otherwise gerne-defining piece in its entirety. “Bumsen” ( 9:11 ) must be written with two “m”! 0.5/5 stars. /s

Bach been real quiet since this dropped
He’s been deadddddd silent lol
"his cantus was rather firmus" is killing me
The fact that UA-cam is offering to translate to English makes this even funnier somehow💀
The perfectly placed pop music reference of "is it me you're looking for ?" is so unexpected, I love it !
The quotations from the Johannespassion had me howling laughing
Me too! My goodness, this was so well done.
Not to mention quotations from Mozart’s Confutatis!!
@@henrykwieniawski7233 Yeah, that was really well done too!
I stared straight at "St Eamy Passion" wondering "what's the joke? Who's 'eemie'?" Woosh
Eamy is whoever you want them to be
Explain it to me? I still don't get it.
@@hannahschneyder6651 remove the space! Took me a minute too!
@@alara7777 ha, thanks!
The PDQ-Bach-degree is brilliantly high. Love this.
For he was WHIIIIIIIIIIIPPED had me screaming of laughter, we're going into St Matthews passion rehearsals now, deffo gonna share this with the choir.
9:04 "Maria hat ein kleines Lamm gebumst" :O
so gut
That and the "Mein Hund Beißt Ne" has some real Peter Schickele vibes!
Release the 25 minute version!!! I want to hear it all! (yes, including the fugue)
After a week of singing the Johannespassion this is quite the refreshment, brilliant work Freddy
Now I want to hear the entire thing
One day perhaps I'll be able to put on a concert... wishful thinking 😂
We need this to get to David Bruce
@@FreddyWickhamMusic PLEASE DO
'Wendy Frickham' had me in stitches
I'd love to see an actually rehearsed version with full orchestra sometime, although I know it wouldn't be easy
Woah the recitative parts are so moving and storytelling!
Deeply moving and anyone called Dichard Rouglas (at least the way I pronounce it) will have a great professional future ahead of him.
Done - bought! So happy to support you in this way. Keep it up - your work is amazing!!!!
Awesome! Thank you! ❤

This was hilarious, especially as a German speaking person 😂😂😂 those lyrics had me in stitches
Melodie after: maria hat ein lamm gebumst 😂😂😂
I don't speak German but even I knew what that translated to, and was also in stiches!
What is with the references everywhere. Love it, No.13 the confutatis maledictis. And no. 14 had me dying😂
Those chorales had me howling! That and the nod to Mozart!
You’re literally the next PDQ Bach at this point
Some good meta humour in here. Even the parodies are parodies of parodies. Slow can-can already done by Saint-Seans and Little Lamb x Bach by Schlicke.
I appreciate the final chorale quoting PDQ Bach's prelude in c# minor.
As a choir lover, I would love to sing these things. They are good fun.
Und es gab Lammfleisch mit dem Naanbrot - aber wo war die Lammsoße?!!
After a tough week of singing Haydn the creation, this is a great refreshment. Delivered as Always freddy
The ending Is Mary had a Little Lamb (Maria hat ein' kleines Lamm gebuslmst)
This was so incredible that I found one of my hands desperately clutching at fresh air
The alto messing up at the ending was perfect lol
So glad to have had the honour of hearing renowned British alto, Wendy Frickham.
Appreciate the fact that they're all sight singing and haven't seen it before!! Makes it even funnier and shows off their talent too, must have been a blast of an evening :D
I've just found something to slip into the choirmaster's stack of music next April Fools
2:38 that neapolitan chord
Not what it is.
comedic oratorios are my new favourite thing
Don't think I've ever been this early. Awesome stuff!
6:41 wait, is that Mozart's Confutatis?
yep! sounds like it at least
The "take this cup away from me" had me dead
Impassioned performance!
Someone send this to the Bachvereniging. I think they can perform this instead of the Mathew Passion or John Passion.

Phenomenal! Brilliant! Absolutely hilarious and yet awesome, proper music!!
BEAUTIFUL
OMG I've been waiting for this for a long time, now you are the new Bach
A truly tragic tale, but an uplifting, heartwarming ending haha

The Jesus Christ Superstar reference did it for me. Score has been bought and planned for reading through soon
As a German I say: "Yes, we kann Can- Can!"😂
Okay this is bloody adorable - thank you for your service
Choir humor at its best.
Damn this is great! 🎉🎉🎉
Wonderful! Hilarious! :)
Absolutely hilarious
Instant buy
The madman did it!!! :DDDDD
So fantastic!
This is so, *so* good.
I know you friend Mr Adach!!!
He is my musical studies teacher!!!
It is finished had me pink ! 😂😂
Very silly and amusing. Says a lot more about choirs and what happens in them than it does about God. I enjoyed it.

Remove the space...
@@captainloggy140 D'oh! And here I thought it was a clever reference!
7:08 Lmao
Could you put the xml file up for purchase as well? I would love to listen the the full (albeit midi) orchestrated version!
I had to come back cause I only just got the joke of "St Eamy"...
Even better than PDQ :)
09:02 Would like to see and organ prelude of this one lol
aww I really missed a picardy third on the cadence of no.1
great! would have almost seemed like a lost bach passion if it were not for the parallel fifths at 9:05
Literally came back watching the John Passion. I think this is better
a night of steamy passion? 😳
Yes, a night of steamy passion.
@@taylorstrqfik bach had at least 20 nights of steamy passion
Can i buy a signed copy with a picture in the style of the bach passions on the front xD
I didn't notice any difference from the St. John's Passion. Is there any? 😆
Can't improve on perfection
Hahaha the Lionel Richie references
Hahaha so many parodies inside there and I absolutely love it - great work there as usual! Just curious - did you set the chorales yourself as a deliberate parody of a 'generic' chorale? It is a bit different from 'actual' Bach so I was trying to get the reference right haha
Thanks, you gave me a reason to stop being jealous of altos and mezzos.
It's always the aloes
LMAO this is epic
0:35 Pergolesi Stabat Mater? Is that you?
Hilarious🤣
I think ill call you KFC Bach
7:07
Waiting for the Lionel Ritchie comments…
08:40 Jesus Christ Superstar?
Nothing but cheese
1:42 i want hear the fugue
could have included some arias
Altoid XD
based wickham - sorry based Bach..??
Did I just listen to 12 minutes of linear intervallic patterns.
Bach wrote oratorio passions, not passion oratorios. They are different....
*PromoSM* 🌷
This is all very nice, but the grammatically VERY wonky German destroys this otherwise gerne-defining piece in its entirety. “Bumsen” ( 9:11 ) must be written with two “m”! 0.5/5 stars. /s
Whyyyyyy?
because its hilariously epic
