Haec Dies - Johann Sebastian Bach

[alanjknig]

I have been on three organ trips to Spain, heard the organs and played them. As soon as this video started, I recognized the tone of a Spanish organ, though I have not been to Valencia.

This piece is taken from tha cantata BWV 15, wrongly attributed by W. Schmieder to J. S. Bach. The cantata was composed in 1704 for Easter day by Johann Ludwig Bach, a cousin of Johann Sebastian, and perhaps it was used again by Johann Sebastian in Leipzig in 1726.

This piece is a paraphrasis of n. 5, an aria for soprano, vl. I-II, v.la and continuo.

Fantastic - as a Bach enthusiast I couldn't be more happier than to hear his version of the Haec Dies sung where it is supposed to be sung - during a Catholic Mass.

@Francis1930 Why not a Lutheran Mass (since J.S. Bach was a devout Lutheran)?

[Francis1930]

@DrewOchsner I sm fully aware that the greatest composer to have lived the magnificent J.S.Bach was a devout Lutheran, I was merely stating that it would be nice to hear the Haec Dies sung during a Roman Catholic Mass in my Traditional Roman Catholic Church which belongs to the SSPX - where the Mass is in Latin in it's entirety.
