[FirstSeptemberRain]

Very beautiful video!

[kelsiejackson]

Beautiful--from the motet "Lobet den Herrn, allen Heiden!"...Bach plays a little trick: the music seems to be winding down, before the sudden, exuberant cry of "Allelujah!" One of the very best distillations of Bach's incomparable gift--all in less than a minute and a half.

[PTCello]

In the book" Men Of Music" is written "Bach could not write long without penning memorable measures."

What glory...What wonderful music.

Eduard Hanslick, Brahm's critic and number one fan, hated bach and baroque music in general. Therefore, despite his adulation for Brahms, Brahms never really respected him.

[wcbroccoli]

There's no trick being played. And there's no sudden, exuberant "cry" of "Alleluia!".

There's simply a meter change from 4/2 to 3/4 as the fugue on "Alleluia" begins.

The words of the 4/2 section are from psalm 117, which has been set by many composers before Bach.

Some settings of the psalm append an "Amen". Some append an "Alleluia". A change from duple to triple meter on "Amen" or "Alleluia" is not unusual.

it's the bwv 230.

amazing!

[aescamilla1975]

Anyone knows the BWV for this allelujah ? I trying to get the music score, thanks.

[kelsiejackson]

BWV 230--Dover publishes a score containing all six motets and the Magnificat.

[metphmet]

It is the final of Motet "Lobet den Herrn,allen Heiden" which is a Gloria in german language

[wcbroccoli]

Here's a more or less literal translation:

Praise the Lord, all Gentiles, and praise him, all peoples. For his mercy and truth rule over us forever. Hallelujah.

The text is from a psalm.

The text is not related to the Latin "Gloria in excelsis Dei..." ("Glory to God in the highest..." nor the German version of it ("Ehre sei Gott in der Hoehe...").

The opening of the "Gloria" comes from the gospel nativity myths where angels appear to shepherds.

You can print this out free from both IMSLP

and CPDL (Choralwiki) sites.

IMSLP has the BG edition, which is commplete, but uses C clefs for the S, A and T parts.

The Choralwiki edition uses modern clefs but is missing the continuo part.
