[pezz416]

Which choir/singers is/are singing in this? Incredible

[MakinLifeFun]

Does anyone know how I can purchase a recording of this performance? I've looked and I can't find it for sale anywhere. Thanks!

[jormundgard]

@MakinLifeFun just look at the description.

[ElvenDagger14]

The conductors face at the end is so full of excitement, it's quite funny! :D

[kingurfay]

@MrBerguy123 no dude, most of them loved Bach...

[Joestn77]

love bostridge

[bravesiremma]

Wonderful - I have sung this as part of a choir but have never heard this as a five-part fugue!

[PatroniFan]

Ian Bostridge, take me now. I'll even go with Christopher Maltman in spite of the botched ending....

[Oksebuterat]

1 - Jean Claude Bass Damme

2 - Tenorminator

3 any suggestions ???

@Oksebuterat

This is easy:

5 Carmella Soprano

[starbreez3]

@Oksebuterat AHAHAHAAHAH! I thought the same!

[MATHIEUdesPLANTEURS]

I try to learn it with my choir!

[Anome100]

Oh choir is singing this for contest :) its soo easy lol

[IlBaroneSengir]

0.33: phenomenal Ian Bostridge!

[loringth3great]

Is it just me or does the director look crazy, in the cool kinda way. Like some one who's whole life is wrapped up into what he's doing. God I love that kind of passion.

[faeryquene]

@loringth3great I was thinking the same thing. He looks MAD with the passion for his craft. I'm used to hearing this piece with a full choir of voices. Very nice change with just the few singers. ♫♪♫

[loringth3great]

Now is it really 5 part? The last Saprano sounds more like a descant rather than a whole part.

[qweiop65]

@loringth3great Actually It is written in as an entire part...we're doing this song in my choir, and in the music it's written in as BTAMS-bass, tenor, alto, mezzo, soprano...it's just a really short part for us sopranos xD

[LtCmdrData45]

This has to be one of the best (if not the best) Sicut locutus rendition I've heard to date. Having the soloists sing it instead of the chorus really brings out the five-part fugue, the point-and-counterpoint. It's Western culture in a glorious minute-and-a-half nutshell. Bravo!

[Themusique1]

Je trouve sa emouvant...

[PatroniFan]

Christopher Maltman, you may take me as well. Please,

[PatroniFan]

Ian Bostridge, take me now...

[oswaldovernet]

Wem sollte ich zuerst danken: Bach, Harnoncount oder "jormundgard" ? Schwer zu beurteilen. Einfach wunderbar.

[free2singxgrl]

Phenomenal tenor.

[14dramageek1]

i love this song, especially the bass part.

[LpFBTS]

this was beautiful <3 they all sung it perfectly. it brings back so many memories. and reeow at the tenor :)

[OracleofOrder]

I love watching this director, he has the best facial expressions. But this is such an amazing sound. I have really come to love and appriciate this song, after having sung it in english my with High School choir and then learning it in latin was great. It gives you the true feel to the song.

[janhe93]

Das ist und bleibt die beste Version auf Youtube

[msparkermarryme]

love the facial expressions :D

[jrworde]

This is the first time I've heard this fugue by a quintet, rather than a five part choral offering.......Wonderful!

[marcosromanojujuy]

Magnificent Magnificat! But I prefer this "Sicut locutus" performed by the choir... Thanks a lot

[janhe93]

Der Dirigent scheint bei 1:23 ein bisschen den Anschluss zu verlieren.

[nunads]

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Herr Bach!

[TheSEM85]

ottima esecuzione.

[MeisterQualle]

1:32 LOLO

[googlekopfkind]

first two singers are not bad second woman to

[Eudora74]

Is curious, I have another version of Harnoncourt Bach's Magnificat, and in my old version they say: Sicut locuuuuuuutuuus est ad patres... no Sicut locutus locutus est. Why?

[LarisDamianos]

@Eudora74 : it depends on how fast the conductor chooses to take this piece, and how slurred or marked he/she wishes to make the eighth notes that make up the "locutus" bits. I've seen and performed it both ways, but personally prefer the "locutus locutus" interpretation.

[Eudora74]

@LarisDamianos Thank you,... but personally I prefer locuuuuuutus est...;)

[ryanlock2u]

Who's the second soprano (the lower)?

[dibaron]

very beautiful piece of music. that emotional climax on "abraham" at 1:21 is beautiful

[Impur3nergy]

I love that part too

[JAyala7293]

This is the first time I've seen the piece sung with a solo on each part, and it was done very well. The bass was the perfect volume. I know from experience that it is hard for some to sing that volume that low. And the lift and expression on each singer's face was very well done as well. Well Done!

[rafikHany]

First time to hear it with solos only...I have to admit it's different....

[LtCmdrData45]

OMG: this has to be the best 'Sicut locutus est' rendition I've heard to date! Bravo to that entire ensemble!

[gogolusa]

Bach is such a master. The conductor has crazy eyes but he's vg.

[Kazul9923]

that sounded fantastic! did anyone else balk at the conductor's face at first? I was not prepared for that....

[PatroniFan]

Who's the Baritone? Is it Erwin Schott?

[afffred]

Christopher Maltman

[PatroniFan]

Ian Bostridge take me now...

[DagamonEx]

nice my my school sang this song and i am wondering why does this choir repeat the t unnecessarily

[nunads]

sublime fugue - Vielen Dank, Herr JSBach

[lowkeygrafitti]

are they supposed to look like that??

[boredgurl]

constipated and crazy? Why yes..yes they do have to look like that. It evokes emotion. XD

[MrMortabit]

Dont drop the soap LIL GAYne

[gothiccsatlos]

J.S Bach never die

[Zeobit]

Great rendition and made me smile at the end :-) I had the chance to sing a few parts of the magnificat, including this one, and so I'm quite sure that the bass took the long note on se[...mini] too long, so he had to hurry on at ...mini eius in saecula.

[Pianoman7102]

The girl behind the tenor at 0:50 looks like she's having a great time.

[ReelSiberian]

Hahaha, she does indeed!!:-)

[omgshesweirdo]

lmfao

[googlekopfkind]

@Pianoman7102 lol xD biatch

[mikitty9750]

@Pianoman7102 she looks like shes going to get shot haha

[janhe93]

@Pianoman7102

She got some sleeping pills

[Denuhm]

@Pianoman7102 constipation methinks xD

[videos957]

@Pianoman7102 OMG, that face is priceless!

[neversroad]

OH BOY! A five-part fugue! Thank you Bach!

[GlindasBubble]

I think that the bass wasn't watching the conductor and missed a ritardando or something. Idk. Still, fabulous performance.

[FraAngelico440]

Yes, I thought that was rather funny! I agree, though: fabulous performance. I love how they separate instead singing it all legato.

[Kurrisan]

my choir is doing all the movements except for 4 8 and 7 which is sad but out of all 12 id say this is my favorite, wish i got the bass solo tho T_T

still its great and i agree it does seem like he rushed

[luciesneep]

"Zo heeft Hij gesproken"!

(sicut locutus est)

Prachtig gezongen!

[Mulbinde]

can someone tell me why there is also the song "psallite deo nostro" which hast exactly the same music but different lyrics than this one?

[GlindasBubble]

There's lots of variations on this song. There's also an English version called "Honor and Glory" that my choir had to sing at a festival with some other groups, but for our upcoming concert, we're using this version instead, because it's prettier. :3 As far as I know, this is the original version, although I could be wrong.

[JMBDrummer17]

yeh i just sang this song today at an allstate and he difinitly rushed the last run.lol

[jfbecks17]

Something weird happened at the cadence...listen to the bass part, he rushes through the run to get to scale degree 5. Were they off tempo?

[jfbecks17]

In the score is says a Soprano I, Soprano II and Alto. I'm sure a Mezzo would sing the Soprano II part.

[sp0ngess]

A "Soprano II" is a Mezzo

[jfbecks17]

not all the time, in the score for le nozze di figaro, the countess is labeled as a soprano II in a lot of places, but she is a soprano, not a mezzo.

[jfbecks17]

Also, in this score, the lowest note the soprano II's hit is a B, the Highest an A above the staff, rather high for an early music mezzo wouldn't you say?

[wcbroccoli]

You're thinking in terms of opera.

When Bach writes a 5-part chorus, he simply adds an extra soprano part to the more common SATB chorus.

The resulting S1 and S2 are more or less equal in range and difficulty.

[prettiboy3991]

that was beautifully done.

[gickelellas]

i can play this on the guitar too.

[ufo8mykat]

Magnificent!

[BachLoveNat]

Great! Thank you!

[paulostroff99]

LOVELY VIDEO,AND VERY PLEASANT AUDIO! Bravo! TY.

[carloslopezluna]

Insuperable!! BRAVO!!!!!BRAVO!!!!

[beautexinterieur]

Is this Latin?

[payrollz1234]

Yes, it is. This particular piece which we are litsening to, is a part of Bach's Magnificat in D major. The magnificat is a popular setting of sacred music, coming from a bit of text in the first (?) chapter of the Gospel of Luke, when Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth. The translation of this line is, 'He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy'.

[payrollz1234]

Sorry, I just realized that that wes the translation for the 'Suscepit Israel" movement. The 'Sicut Locutus' section translates, "as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever".

[mirzoni86]

Absolutely perfect!!! BRAVO!!!!

[zanamica]

They are all very good, but the men are exquisite! And they look so young! Brava!

[firebreathone]

Good version. Though I prefer the Koopman version

[davcos22]

Just amazing!

[doggy2030]

brava!

[Elaniago]

Soprano: Christine Schäfer

Soprano: Anna Korondi

Alto: Bernarda Fink

Tenor: Ian Bostridge

Baritone: Christopher Maltman

[quincyman123]

It seemed like the alto, tenor, and 1st soprano were very german with their accent, I may be wrong. Even though the bass did sound a little off at the end, he does have the last 8th note in the penultimate measure. He sped the last run but it still came together nice. Can anyone tell me the name of the bass?

[LarisDamianos]

If anything, it's just the tenor is pronouncing things differently. Listen to how he pronounces the word Locutus compared to everyone else. Everyone is saying "Loh-coo-toos", and he's saying "Law-coo-toos".

[hcjuancamilo]

there's something wrong with the bass at the end... maybe he think's he's late, so he sings at the cadence F# E D E F# G A faster... :S

[CoasterKid2007]

Yeah, something's wrong there, no doubt. Oh well, the rest of the piece makes up for it...

[laplay69]

In the score of Sicut locutus est, the bass has that rythm... While the others sing at one tempo (seems), the bass must do too much 1/4 notes... He's only resolving his part how he must do... If you have any doubt, look for a score of Sicut Locutus Est...

Bye!!!!

[jfbecks17]

I noticed that too, he rushed through that last run.

[mercurygm757]

a very handsome group of singers!
