"Herrscher des Himmels" Tölzer Knabenchor

[tervito]

Schmidt-Gaden's 1972 recording of the Weihnachtsoratorium with the Tölzer forces remains my favorite ... He shows the same marvelous touch here. If this is part of a complete recording I would love to see the whole thing!

This is the Hogwarts Choir. Potter shows his talent at 1:15.

[GloriaJo]

@mauriciovaler hahahaha XD good eye

[Marsyke]

The 'mit Psalmen erhöht in 0:54, is heavenly. My fav rendition by far.

[josefk64]

This needs to swing

[maestrovoci]

@jpstenino - the most exact term would be "covered parallel fifths". I thank you for mentioning "Mozart parallel fifth" as I have never heard that term used before. You learn something new every day! But I will stick with "covered" because Bach was clever enough to disguise the parallelism by switching parts, and the editor was also helpful, inserting a page turn between the two "offending" intervals! I think the edition was Edition Peters, but I am not sure.

[jpstenino]

@maestrovoci Thank you for your reply. " Mozart parallel fifth" is a term I picked up from Dr. Norman Del Mar in his work ANATOMY OF THE ORCHESTRA

to describe Mozart moving consecutive fifths by a semitone

(he often included the GERMAN AUGMENTED SIXTH CHORD) .

That set me off on a search for examples which is proving to be much fun.

Thanks again.

Nice performance.

8) the first trumpet player is Peter Lohse :) He plays first trumpet at the Semperoper in Dresden.

[FallaciesDetective]

more powerful than the other one that I´ve heard-

good accentuation!

[CanadaPisces]

A delightful video! Thank you, Jairdan!

[beryl9993]

Ich finde, dass es deutlcih zu schnell ist!! Wenn ich mir einen Herrscher vorstelle, dann sehe ich diesen Schreiten! Hier würde er aber in meiner Vorstellung davon rasen! Also finde ich dass das Tempo verfehlt ist und dies NICHTS mit einem Herrscher des Himmels zu tun hat! Sorry! Schade, denn von der Qualität her finde ich den Dirigenten, das Orchester und den Chor sont eigentlich gut!

[studentinberlin]

ich finds herrlich!!!!!!!!!!!

[syn4ptix]

Einfach genial.

[studentinberlin]

Der Dirigent ist voll Feuer und Flamme! Sowas sieht man selten, so eine Freude! Schön!

[studentinberlin]

Das ist doch ein fröhliches Lied zu Weihnachten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[222mozart]

Suuuperr !

Erreicht nahezu den Kreuzchor unter Mauersberger sowie den Thomanerchor unter Rotzsch.

[Chrisy299]

@222mozart :D ;)

[pepitaprats]

Bravo ! c'est top !

[javierpe9103]

excelente interpretacion

[kleinbittersdorf]

Absolute beauty of Bach and Tölzer Knabenchor

[stagemichi]

ich frag mich ja immer wie man jemanden so schlagen kann, dass der so schreit.

gibt sehr viel bessere...

[Chocolateluvr1987]

That's a really good performance. When we sang it with my choir, I (soprano) was always so out of breath after 0:28-0:40.

[maestrovoci]

Bei dem Barokischen Stil darf man nicht das Interval fünfte(in diesem Fall zwischen Sopran und Alt Noten) zweimal in der Reihe (also, parallel) komponieren. Klar?

[wcbroccoli]

@albertklassik

You can't find it because it isn't there.

You correctly observed that the sopranos and altos are singing in parallel 3rds.

There are no parallel 5ths hidden, "covered" or otherwise.

[Musicmuffins]

@maestrovoci das ding heißt quintparallele und ist ein nicht erlaubtes mittel nicht nur in der barock zeit und so neben bei ersten bezweifle ich stark das bach dies allgemein je gemacht hätte und ich hab nach geguckt an der on dir beschriebenen stelle ist nichts derartiges zu finden und guck vorher mal die definition bei wikipedia an bevor du dich rechtfertigen willst

[maestrovoci]

stimmt ! in English: a covered parallel fifth.

[maestrovoci]

For Baroque geeks like myself, listen at exactly 1:31 and you will hear Bach committing a "sin" because he writes a covered parallel fifth! The publisher seems to have wanted us not to notice it because it is published with the first interval as the last note on one page and the second the first note on the top of the next page (so it is hidden). I had a choirboy jump out of his seat and shout "Bach can't do that!" when he first encountered the covered fifth!

[wskfan]

Das ist mir jetzt aber zu "hoch", "Meister der Stimme"...:)

[mudde123]

"covered fifth" also...interessant..NUR: was soll denn bitte das sein..?? Scheinbar ja was echt Dramatisches, wenn das sogar Chorjungs von den Stühlen katapultiert...

[jpstenino]

@maestrovoci is it a Mozart parallel fifth? I am preparing some demonstrations and either way this would be a lovely example. ( I do not have the score with me at this time)

I am thrilled and amazed when encountering students like your choirboy who can hear inner voicing to that extent.  Those are wonderful moments.

thank you

[Anna100l]

Perfekt!!

[debartzen]

Nos acerca a Dios.Gran interpretación.

[bramscherjunge]

[Aleksi6969]

[Noone0611]

When was it recorded?

[8011255198086]

What an Excellent performance!!!Congrats to the Conductor and the choir!!!!!!!BRAVO!!!!!!

[maestrovoci]

Looks like about 1990 or 1991, judging by a few recognizable choristers.

[laughne]

Great video, young professor GSG directing !

Dietrich Bednarz already grown-up singing !

[lga4all]

Fantastico. (I agree on the video cutting. A mess.) ...George...

[Zerlina12]

It is a hysterical kcameracutting...

[VivaYoungTalent]

Beautifull singing.  Too bad the engineer cutting in and out the cameras didn't have a clue what was happening.
