@leabee08 that is where you got it terribly wrong: nobody is making fun of religious people. It is the idea of god which is funny to some of us, just like it would be acceptable to make fun of your favorite baseball team or a crazy hat. You are basically whining
1:38-1:48 is where I shake my head in wonder and disbelief at Bach's genius. After being in A, he goes from B minor to F-sharp minor, back to A as the dominant, and returning to D major like it was a quick walk in the park. I'm learning this for choir and this is much harder than anything I did last semester, but will be so much more rewarding when we get it down and performance-ready.
@ChelseaAnn69...God is in everything, including music but that does not mean that it should be labeled as "music of God". It gives the impression that we know what God considers sacred, which of course no one does. "Sacred music" is not better or worse than any other type of music, to think so is subtle elitism, cuz for all we know God may be a rapper.
@EamonGriffith I don't believe in God, but in the history of music, most of the stuff written was called "Sacred Music" or Music of God. Religion was a huge influence on most music written back in Bach's time. So honestly saying, If you have such a problem with religion being in Classical Music....Then why the hell are you listening to it?
Richter? Ma Richter è antitetico a Bach, lo suona come fosse Beethoven. Koopman è uno dei migliori interpreti di Bach, in assoluto. Più che fiacco e dispersivo direi lieve e gioioso, come dev'essere un Magnificat. Richter lo rende stentoreo e pomposo come la musica Romantica... Bellissima questa esecuzione...
In questa esecuzione esiste solo la bellezza assoluta della musica di Johann Sebastian Bach. Ton Koopman crede di aver fatto chissà quale maestria esecutiva !!! L'incisione di Karl Richter lo schiaccia senza pietà !!! E pensare che Koopman è stato allievo di Gustav Leonhardt, ma forse non ha capito molto del Genio che lo ha istruito !!!! E' tutto così fiacco e dispersivo !!!! Che fatica ascoltare !!!!!!
@asdom07 do you know what is really shameful? it is shameful the fact that I knew about justin bieber just by reading comments of videos of classical music, why I have to see his name in so many comments of classical music videos!!! shame on everyone who even mention him!!
Sure. Bach was a black man. He was one of many men and women who accomplished great things in the history of Western Civilization who have been victimized by the historical practice known as "whitewashing." Waiting until all who knew him and could defend truth are dead and then painting images of his likeness as a white man so the world is brainwashed into thinking a black man never wrote anything worth listening to. One example: Get the book "King James I and VI," publ. Oxford.
@1robinsong But that's ridiculous. Bach was a Caucasian, a German protestant whose great great great grandfather, named Hans Bach, came from Thuringia. Arguing otherwise is like arguing that dogs stepped on the moon! How can you possibly even go through your head that Bach wasn't a German? Like Schiller and Goethe! My friend, I am dismayed by your strange madness (or strange sense of humor, if you will)...Also, King James VI was Scottish.
Just get the book. You will see on the cover, a tapestry of King James I and VI. You will see his true likeness woven into the cloth. You cannot whitewash tapestries, because it bleeds, it would ruin the entire tapestry. So this is one likeness of King James they could not alter. Yes, King James was from Scotland and sat on 3 thrones at once. My friend, if you think this is strange madness, allow me to open your eyes slowly. Just get the book "King James I and VI," W. B. Patterson
Another piece of documentation I offer is "Nature Knows No Color Line" by J. A. Rogers, where you will see the coats of arms of all the negroes who ruled Europe in the Middle Ages. Have fun! (I say this because if you choose to do the research yourself, you will find it leads to some fascinating facts about the world's past and present that you may or may not be ready for).
@1robinsong Yeah, of course, Bach (or Blach?) was a black, of course. Now you can go back to sleep, and please don't forget to take your pills this time.
@DanielPhysiker I'm not sure if you're joking, but Stalin rejected Christianity as well as every other religion till the day he died. He believed that he was God and couldn't stand religious freedom of any kind. Same with Hitler, Mao, and Pol Pot.
Did you already sing in a choir? He is asking the singers to remember to open their mouth (a lot). It seems that you can´t imagine what is conduct an orchestra and a choir. It´s really addictive. So you´re right. He´s on drugs.
@Mackaronni you are quite right, it has been proven that music is as strong as a drug, if you have ever you played in an orchestra or any instrument you should know that not many people can control their movements, some of them don't even realize that they are moving so much but i'm talking about the ones who play instruments, you should see it from the conductor's perspective, there are so many factors that influence his movements but you do not realize it, you are overreacting, he was fine.
@Mackaronni Nadia Solerno-Sonnenburg said to similar criticism, "When I'm playing, the last thing I'm concerned with is what I look like." Cheap shots at how musicians look is never just criticism.
If there was no God then there could be no Magnificat--Mary praising the LORD; but because there WAS a Bach there IS a God! And the 7th day is proof of that!
@alanplum7 It is a pity that so few Christians actually observe the 7th day in these decadent days.....it took a thousand years to more or less obliterate the Biblical Sabbath in the early Christian church, and when the reformation came along, this wrong was not righted. Only a handful of significant modern-day denominations such as the Adventists today observe the sanctity of the seventh day. // That said, Bach and God certainly make a great pair :-=).
I love this performance, because Koopman really feels the music, and I believe that nowadays he is one of the best Bach performer........ how not to forget his CD's of the organ works of the Great Composer!
Mi espíritu se alegra en Dios mi Salvador. Para ver a su sirvienta y su humildad. A partir de ahora en adelante voy a proclamar el Santísimo. Hizo en mí maravillas que es santo. Ten piedad de los que temen. Manifiesta el poder de su brazo, desconcertado a los orgullosos, derribó a los poderosos, exaltado humillado. Bendito seas, oh Israel, que ha recordado por Dios de la misericordia y la fidelidad.
As much as I love Bach, I'd have to say his writing style isn't lyrical enough to make the greatest of vocal music. The organ-like or harpsichord-like counterpoint just doesn't work for the human voice. Nevertheless, Bach remains my favorite composer, for he wrote for the spiritual well-being of all men, not to merely strut his ego in front of audiences. Bach's organ works remain the best pieces ever written...
"Human!!! What the darkness takes it personly, if J.S.Bach takes as man of god, the instruments orders them directonaly like his ways, not like the darkness their ways..."
he was enlightened, but I don't beleive the source is from a god, it's from a much more universal source, what that source is, the mystery that will never be solved...
To joergio and those like him: get in touch with someone you really trust who is in touch with the god in whom Bach believed and tell them about it. Great music can open us up to Jesus but it's personal contact and encouragement that helps most of us with the next steps in our journey.
@several of you - quit your annoying bickering and enjoy the music! Nothing is more flipping boring than "listening" to people fighting over who is more in the right. Geez.

joergio, anyone can choose to be be n atheist,agnostic,pantheist,evolutionist a la dawkins etc. but if Bach had not been a Christian we would not be enjoying the Magnificat here, so thanks to Bach, Koopman &orchestra n choir n to the Lord.
This version definitely gets better as it goes on. The beginning has a lot of balance issues (barely any strings!) but this could just be a problem with the recording. The choir has good inflection on the later runs. Not my favorite interpretation, but one that highlights the complexity and contrapuntal brilliance of Bach!
¡¡¡¡¡Fabuloso!!!!!. La ciencia de la composición en su máximo esplendor. Bach en su área de trabajo es homenajeado actualmente en la famosa Iglesia de Santo Tomás en Lepzig, Alemania. Dónde compuso sus más grandiosas obras de madurez. Dando revisión, corrigiendo y aumentando algunas de ellas en ésta etapa.
@buddhastaxi Christian God is the most logical in the world... man is illogical by living in a sinful manner. Faith means "I surrender to the most logical thing in the world which is beyond my logic, my imagination: Love" Bach described the "divine logic" through his "logic": music...
Every time I'm listening Ton Koopman's Bach...it's seems to me I SEE ...! whole score through "x ray"... EVERY THING is SO CLEAR and REASONABLE ! GREAT MUSICIAN ! MASTER ! REAL MASTER ! Thank YOU !
Music such as this really makes you think that there is something more then just this world. But it's not because it's thematically connected to belief, it's simply because this music is so beautiful. If there is such a beauty, there has to be God or at least something sacred.
As an atheist [or agnostic, at best] i have a tendency to agree with you. What i certainly do beleive is that this first movement of J. S. Bach's Magnificat represents his genius at its most magnificent.
Perhaps you may realize that without a deep spirituality, Bach wouldn't be able to perform such perfection in his music. It was God the inspirer rather than music alone, You may also get perfect master pieces in your life if ytou get close to God.
Funny: it isn't God that inspires perfection, it can be anything which is inherently perfect (e.g. nature), it is simply that Bach was best at scribing what he deemed perfection. That, and his counterpoint was simply perfect to begin with, so he could have written music about death and rape, but it would have still sounded perfect.
Actually there is a theory, which was very popular in middle ages and in Baroque as well, that the only creator is God and every artist is simply the instrument of God. Bach must have believed that too, I disagree though...
I agree with you about the deep spirituality of Bach. But, sorry, I think it was the _idea_ of God that inspired Bach, if any, not God himself (who may or may not exist, who knows?). I mean: Bach's music is a human product, and *for me* it's value is much more greater just because of his humanity. Calling for a divine action is quite offending not only against Bach, but even against the Christian idea of God, who lets us be what we want, in good and evil (imo).
But somehow Bach was, as convinced many of us are, that there is a God whom it is worth to give him the bast we have, And what Bach has compsed to him, was driven by this conviction, this gift of deep faith, that so many have lost in todays western culture, driven by selfishness.
If in each one life there is only space for ego, then no space for God's gifts.
@jorgecarrillo2 Jorge, sorry, you have way too preconceived ideas imo. The existence of God may not be proved, now and ever, as you know. We can only say that people who believe in the existence of God have faith, point. Bach's music proves Bach's faith, not God's existence; it's a pity I know, but our condition of human beings cannot be changed so easily, you should know it.
@thegoddescomposer sorry stupid asshole, you make no sense. I can watch Family Guy and know that there are no talking dogs named Bryan, I can listen to Bach's beautiful music and know there is no flying sky daddy. Bach's music is proof that there was a Bach. Period.
@DiVeronica omg u really are retard u really think there is a person above the sky <,< omg u really omg stupid thats symbolic , anyway stfu stupid atheist empy soul u never should understand the music of Bach and thats a fact never
@thegoddescomposer besides this is one of his less cerebral pieces. If you're going to use some vacuous 'God exists because humans can create beautiful music' argument I would suggest Mozart's Jupiter symphony, not this primitive, intriguing, but not mind blowing melisma trill orgy.
@DiVeronica mozart is supremely overrated, the jupiter symphony is restrained drivel. Also, you seem like one of those sad people who has to piss on everyone elses parade, why would you even bother commenting on this video in the first place if you find pieces like this boring
@hderms2 Mozart is overrated? Are you kidding me? He was a musical genius at the age of 10. Restrained drivel? It's only the finest gathering of musical quality in the classical age, the piece that pushed us over into romanticism. I don't find it boring, I love Bach. I'm not pissing on everyone, only people who think Mozart overrated and less talented than Bach, which is sheer lunacy.
I love the fact that you will never see it be 'Bach's Magnificat ft. Lil Wayne' or anything along those lines. lol.

To joergio and those like him: get in touch with someone you really trust who is in touch with the god in whom Bach believed and tell them about it. Great music can open us up to Jesus but it's personal contact and encouragement that helps most of us with the next steps in our journey.

joergio, anyone can choose to be be n atheist,agnostic,pantheist,evolutionist a la dawkins etc. but if Bach had not been a Christian we would not be enjoying the Magnificat here, so thanks to Bach, Koopman &orchestra n choir n to the Lord.

This version definitely gets better as it goes on. The beginning has a lot of balance issues (barely any strings!) but this could just be a problem with the recording. The choir has good inflection on the later runs. Not my favorite interpretation, but one that highlights the complexity and contrapuntal brilliance of Bach!

I can't help but feel so happy listening to such joyful music. And the words are but three: "Magnificat, anima mea". So much joy in such short words.

¡¡¡¡¡Fabuloso!!!!!. La ciencia de la composición en su máximo esplendor. Bach en su área de trabajo es homenajeado actualmente en la famosa Iglesia de Santo Tomás en Lepzig, Alemania. Dónde compuso sus más grandiosas obras de madurez. Dando revisión, corrigiendo y aumentando algunas de ellas en ésta etapa.

@buddhastaxi Christian God is the most logical in the world... man is illogical by living in a sinful manner. Faith means "I surrender to the most logical thing in the world which is beyond my logic, my imagination: Love" Bach described the "divine logic" through his "logic": music...

roseinthewinter3 1 year ago
Music such as this really makes you think that there is something more then just this world. But it's not because it's thematically connected to belief, it's simply because this music is so beautiful. If there is such a beauty, there has to be God or at least something sacred.

As an atheist [or agnostic, at best] i have a tendency to agree with you. What i certainly do beleive is that this first movement of J. S. Bach's Magnificat represents his genius at its most magnificent.

Perhaps you may realize that without a deep spirituality, Bach wouldn't be able to perform such perfection in his music. It was God the inspirer rather than music alone, You may also get perfect master pieces in your life if ytou get close to God.
jorgecarrillo2 1 year ago 2
@jorgecarrillo2
Funny: it isn't God that inspires perfection, it can be anything which is inherently perfect (e.g. nature), it is simply that Bach was best at scribing what he deemed perfection. That, and his counterpoint was simply perfect to begin with, so he could have written music about death and rape, but it would have still sounded perfect.
Wagnerlover777 1 year ago
Actually there is a theory, which was very popular in middle ages and in Baroque as well, that the only creator is God and every artist is simply the instrument of God. Bach must have believed that too, I disagree though...
AikiNick102 1 year ago
@jorgecarrillo2
I agree with you about the deep spirituality of Bach. But, sorry, I think it was the _idea_ of God that inspired Bach, if any, not God himself (who may or may not exist, who knows?). I mean: Bach's music is a human product, and *for me* it's value is much more greater just because of his humanity. Calling for a divine action is quite offending not only against Bach, but even against the Christian idea of God, who lets us be what we want, in good and evil (imo).

No doubt that with no Bach, no Magnificat BWV XXX
But somehow Bach was, as convinced many of us are, that there is a God whom it is worth to give him the bast we have, And what Bach has compsed to him, was driven by this conviction, this gift of deep faith, that so many have lost in todays western culture, driven by selfishness.
If in each one life there is only space for ego, then no space for God's gifts.
jorgecarrillo2 1 year ago
@jorgecarrillo2 Jorge, sorry, you have way too preconceived ideas imo. The existence of God may not be proved, now and ever, as you know. We can only say that people who believe in the existence of God have faith, point. Bach's music proves Bach's faith, not God's existence; it's a pity I know, but our condition of human beings cannot be changed so easily, you should know it.

@thegoddescomposer besides this is one of his less cerebral pieces. If you're going to use some vacuous 'God exists because humans can create beautiful music' argument I would suggest Mozart's Jupiter symphony, not this primitive, intriguing, but not mind blowing melisma trill orgy.

@hderms2 Mozart is overrated? Are you kidding me? He was a musical genius at the age of 10. Restrained drivel? It's only the finest gathering of musical quality in the classical age, the piece that pushed us over into romanticism. I don't find it boring, I love Bach. I'm not pissing on everyone, only people who think Mozart overrated and less talented than Bach, which is sheer lunacy.
