sinfonia cantate29

[wavejaco]

This is so beautiful! I have a recording of Michael Murray playing this arrangement. How can I get this arrangement? I can't find it anywhere...

@wavejaco

hi, me too, I have this recording of Michael Murray, it is GREAT!! ;-)))

But I don't know where to find this arrangement ;-((

[wavejaco]

I have found a website that has two other arrangements by Guilmant and Stetsenko. Apparently the Guilmant transcription is much richer than the Dupré transcription, but I think either one is beautiful. You can find it on this webpage: imslp.org/wiki/Wir_danken_dir,­_Gott,_wir_danken_dir,_BWV_29_­(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)

I made an arrangement for piano.

[MelloCash]

i love this version for the first time I heard Diane Bish was playing it

[StrangeWizzard]

That organ really is incredible - the reverb makes it sound fantastic!

[StrangeWizzard]

This organ is beautiful!

Who is playing the organ on the video?

[tuxedomoon]

Bch original wrote it for keyboard and perhaps later he trancribed it for violin and lute,cantata no 29 has this piece in solo organ

[codeman2008]

No, it was originally written for Violin solo, then he made a transcription for orchestra and organ. Bach never made a solo organ arrangement of this piece... if he had then we'd all play that one instead of the various transcriptions by Guilmant, Dupre, Isoir, Guillou, and others.

Thank you, that was lovely.

[orgelschmiddy]

Oh, die Orgel in Kevelaer. Ein wunderschönes Instrument!! Da geht mir immer wieder das Herz auf.

My brother, Sean, played this on the organ at St. Marys Cathedral Killarney.

I was at a wedding, and I walked up the winding, old , stone staircase, to the organ loft where he was playing, - it was so seldom that we met,

I had a videocamera in my hand,

When the majority of the congregation had left, - I asked him to play the sinfonia to cantata 29,

My chest bursting with the power of the pipes, (and with pride)

I stood there transfixed, for the duration,

I forgot to turn on the camera.

Great story. I agree, the Sifonia is absolutely breathtaking!

[jonasjonas91]

this organ has "only" 4 manuals

auxiliar and chamades can be coupled to all manuals.

its a little strange written in the internet

[cstroh32]

To some, I might seem quite ignorant; however, I'd argue that the organ realisation of the Sinfonia from Cantata No. 29 is superior to the original work for solo violin. All of that notwithstanding, it certainly takes on a new life with the pipe organ.

[handelfan610]

i agree...i think it commands more from the organ...where with just a violin it could become boring...know what i mean?

[willowthebored]

I'd go so far as to say on a violin it's downright dull. The recording is substandard, but you can tell the instrument really gives it life, and a definite sense of majesty.

[rix1rix2rix3]

perfectly done

[spirosis1]

this is an original piece from Bach for violin.. partita III for violin solo on Emajor. Interesting interpretation on the organ. shame about the sound quality.

[VirgilFoxMusic]

spirosis1: Correct. Virgil Fox played it in E Major and at more the violin tempo...

[3512032]

This may be the most wonderful music in all creation!

[screammachine87]

When all stops will be installed, the organ is going to have 127 speaking stops (no extensions) and 155 ranks. Today the organ is divided 6 manual divisions (Hauptwerk,Oberwerk,Schwellwer­k,Fernwerk,Chamade and Auxilaire) and two pedal divisions (Hauptpedal and Fernpedal). Some symphonic ranks are allready there, but they have not beeing installed right now. This organ is the best example for the late romantic organbuilding in Germany!

[Henrid81]

This organ stands in Kevelaer, Germany! A wonderful pleace!

[bangwezl]

Mighty impressive, why a fragment?
