J. S. Bach - "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" BWV 147

[martin71064]

Jesus helper oss icke. Det är en föreställning-. Vi måste göra det själv. Jag er German, jag vet att ni tror och ni vill väl. Jag älskar det tyska.. Men Jesus kommer inte. Han är inte här.

Det viktiga för mig är att ni försvarar Tyskland. Att ni inte e britter. Jag kan ike försvare britternas bombning av Hamburg.

Sei o quanto é grande essa nossa dificuldade de simplesmente ouvir a música sem que alfinetadas religiosas ou ideológicas se faça presentes. Será que nem por poucos minutos somos capazes de sermos nós mesmos, de ouvir e compartilhar uma bela música como qualquer mortal?

いっか J-S BACHの住んだ町を訪ね歩いて見たい　長年の夢です　何時実現出来るのか。J'adoré la musique de Bach, j'aimerai faire le perlinage de son étape de sa vie, d'écouter l'orgue d'église Saint-Thoma...Le plus géniale du compositeur.

[derblauereiter92]

Ich glaube daran, dass Atheismus eine Art Glaube ist... Für mich hat der Mensch drei Merkmale, die ermöglichen, dass man ihn als Menschen nennen kann:

1) Vernunft

2) Fähigkeit zum Schaffen

3) Glauben (an irgendwas)

Das denke ich und es ist natürlich die reinste Wahrheit nicht. Aber ich denke sogar die Atheisten glauben an etwas...das macht sie menschlich

[Yrrats]

@derblauereiter92 Of course atheists believe in something. In a lot of things: love, loyalty, charity. Just not in supernatural things. Atheism isn't a believe, it's a word that expresses the state of their not being religious.

[HubertTheBeardless]

@Yrrats

love, charity loyalty all come from the supernatural nature of man. The atheist is suffering of amnesia. He forgot his own spiritual nature. In this, we are all atheists.

[Yrrats]

@HubertTheBeardless A spiritual nature is not dependent on supernatural stuff. One can very well be spiritual and believe in love, charity and loyalty, without believing in fairytales and a man on a cloud (with or without a beard);-)

[HubertTheBeardless]

@Yrrats

Yes it is. Spirituality is not about fairytales and old men sitting on clouds as you make it to be. Philosophy, arts, science they are all spiritual activities.

[Yrrats]

@HubertTheBeardless You were linking spirituality to religion, not me ("The atheist is suffering of amnesia. He forgot his own spiritual nature"). My whole point was that one can be an atheïst and be spiritual at the same time. Exactly what you are saying now.

[HubertTheBeardless]

@Yrrats This media is not really suitable for a thourough conversation. But I will still try to bring a few arguments.

I identified any activity what involves thinking as spiritual activities. It does not have to do anything with God, or religion. I say, that thinking in itself is spiritual, and thus, supra-sensible. Thinking can be only percieved by itself. Thus it has a realm of its own, the spiritual realm.

[Yrrats]

@HubertTheBeardless But why than did you state that specifically atheists are suffering of amnesia and having forgotten their own spiritual nature?

Respeito a cada ser humano em suas crenças e opiniões, mas não posso deixar de desafiar a todos a experimentarem a BONDADE e o AMOR incomparável de Deus ao enviar JESUS CRISTO para morrer no Calvário por todos e aos que crêem "deu-lhes o poder de se tornarem filhos de Deus.

[JayCaMeee]

wtf xD

[HollandSama]

I'm a proud atheist, but I can freely admit that religion has brought some beautiful art into our world. Atheists didn't produce Bach, after all.

[Oegaboega12]

@HollandSama Religion doesnt bring beautiful art into our world, people do. Whether they are inspired by religion or anything else is besides the point.

[HollandSama]

@Oegaboega12 I politely disagree with you. People need to be inspired to write beautifully, and Christianity has been a good source of inspiration, (though it didn't make music by itself, like you point out). Without inspiration, whether by love, religion, the glory of life, etc., people don't make beautiful art. The quality and source of inspiration make a difference in what is produced. That's not besides the point.

[oterrivelivan]

@HollandSama, What about Wagner?

[HollandSama]

@oterrivelivan: What about him? If you think I meant that ONLY religion can bring about beautiful music, then you missed my point.

@T3DGCoFuya: How flattering! I had no idea my comment was going to bring about three responses so quickly.

[T3DGCoFuya]

@HollandSama This is the greatest comment I've ever seen on YouTube. You rock, dude!

[Yrrats]

@HollandSama Johann Ambrosius and Elisabeth produced Bach back in 1645 and nobody else.

[avginkel]

@HollandSama this is a truly remarkable statement from someone with a great character. If we all thought like you, the world would be a haven of peace. Thanks!

[HollandSama]

@avginkel I'm glad you could see what I meant. My driving thought was to bring a moment of peaceful compromise to the discussion. Thank you for the kind response!

[verticalmatt]

@HollandSama same here. someone said "Bach is to speak to Got, Mozart to speak to Princes,"

[russedav5]

@HollandSama

Neither did they you; God did. Atheism is not a rational religion because the impossible is presumed: infinite self-knowledge sufficient to exclude ANY possibility of God ANYWHERE. The myths of agnosticism and antitheism are ultimately really usually dishonest misotheism (= hatred of God (and often self)), due to vain ego and thus pride with some bad experience(s) not truly processed. Been there, done that. May God open our eyes. See "Don't Waste Your Life" desiringGod. org

[KnightsHospitallerBC]

@HollandSama Atheists produced Stalin, Hitler, and Mao; they murdered over 150 million people...

[HollandSama]

@KnightsHospitallerBC I'm not sure what you mean by that.

[PhillySophia]

@KnightsHospitallerBC You cannot project politics/ warfare onto religion. It's like saying all Christians are crusaders or all Muslims are terrorists. As Christians we believe that our religion is the right religion. But you have to understand that other people feel the same way about their religion or their belief that there is no god. Stalin, Hitler and Mao were atheists, but not every atheist is a dictator or muderer.

[Argent108]

@PhillySophia It's not really important to the point you are making, but I should point out that Hitler was probably not an atheist.

wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Adolf_H­itler's_religious_views

[NostrilSalami]

@HollandSama I couldn't agree with you more. And let's not forget this fact because Bach and his beautiful music are the reasons why we're all here viewing this video, not religion, or a lack there of.

[Iamagorilla]

@HollandSama Well, the church was kind of the only place a budding composer could get any work back then, so of course they wrote what their patrons wanted. The fact is we'll never know if they hadn't written just as beautiful music had they had secular employers.

[speedy3702]

@HollandSama Religion has nothing to do with it. Bach lived on the 18th century and to make sacred music was at that time the best way to make a living for a musician. Especially on the Lutheran Church, which cared a lot for music. If he would have lived in a different time period or area, he would have made probably some operas or film music. But the reason why his music is so beautiful, is simply because he was an unbelievable musical genius.

[Fimbultyr]

@HollandSama I think Bach was a musical genius and that fact had nothing to do with his religion. It was just normal to be religious in those times. Maybe if he was born in the 70s or 80s he would've been an atheist - who knows.

[mytownsanbon]

@HollandSama

i don't think it's religion that has brought this music. it's bach's musical gift

[BrFelo]

@mytownsanbon It´s not religion, it´s God expressing trough Bach. His gift was being such a wonderful instrument of His supreme beautiful.

Some atheist can express god's will better than religious people. It's just a shame knowing what is the way to bliss and not following.

I think I know my way, but major setbacks made me doubt about that. I am very shaken right now, but i have faith the He knows what it is better to me. And listening to His musical expression really helps me.

[civillianguy]

@HollandSama definitely,religion bring to you some light,through music,art,nature.it makes everything make sense.

[henriquecinema]

@HollandSama What did they produce?

[walttermsilva]

@BIM0576 Pois adorei o coral, em música alemã, principalmente ao saber a mensagem da letra, que em suma é "Jesus é muito importante e tudo em minha vida". Existe a letra em alemão traduzida para o inglês no início aqui. A partir da tradução em inglês, fiz a tradução em português, e outra pessoa, em espanhol. Quem sabe ainda não aparecerão mais traduções em outros idiomas? Portanto, eu, ao contrário, parabenizo o coral, muito embora respeite o seu gosto, como não poderia deixar de ser.

J.S.Bach JESUS ALEGRIA DOS HOMENS,uma das mais lindas melodias de todos os tempos,composta a mais de 300 anos e continua linda.

[11Kralle]

Music has no confession! The routes of Bachs music were the churchmusic of the middleage, and even if Bach was a lutherian, he would never had spoken bad about other christians. Its people who claim art for their `culture´ who made me sick! Bach joined the italian and the french style to the german style of music and this interpretation of english musicians would have made him very proud!

[palteonato]

Bach was not a Catholic, He was a devout LUTHERAN .

[GeorgSchott]

J.S. Bach always gave the glory to GOD (soli deo gloria!). The title of this song says: "Jesus continues being the reason of my joy." Jesus is the son of God and principal point of cristianism, not Mary. A christian adores Jesus, not Mary.

[pipeorganistnick]

@GeorgSchott Wow, an obvious bash at Catholics, but we adore both Jesus AND Mary! We like giving her credit for giving birth to the Son of God.

[silharima]

Absolutely wonderful - musicians will applaud the fine performance, people of faith will appreciate the message and its significance, and pretty much everyone will listen with a certain sense of awe in the presence of Bach's undeniable genius. Except, of course, for those who tend to focus on their personal thorns instead of the roses.

[joyodilogoful]

Jesús es mi alegría

El consuelo, la dulzura de mi corazón

Jesús me defiende de todo mal,

Él es la fuerza de mi vida,

la alegría y el sol de mis ojos,

el tesoro y las delicias de mi alma

por eso no aparto a Jesús

de mi corazón y de mi vida.

[ElseRipley]

Thanks for the interesting slide show with annotations! I've been to the St. Thomas Church and it was very special to stand in the place where Bach had been working a few centuries in the past.

[MuKo18]

I've learned about this song because of End of Evangelion from Hideaki Anno

[camposi]

I´m from germany and I´m glad every christmas comes something from Bach on TV! I can´t understand why Bach was so busy in writing music because he had such a hard life and his music wasn´t recognized the time he lived?

[Mauserien]

@camposi

Well friend, I think he was so busy writing music because it was his profession and he loved it . However, I sincerely believe that his more dear and deeper reason was I loved his friend Jesus so much, as this piece and so many other show us... =)

[Altair8801]

What exactly is "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" the name of? Is it the name of the Cantata? What do you call it if you remove the choir? Because I heard a clip with the same music and about the same length but without the chorus. What do you call that?... a Chorale without the choir??...

@Ki12B Why don't you like Christianity?

[Ki12B]

@FlameOfAnor17 There are too much reasons to list them in a YT-comment. But it's not only Christianity. All religions are awful in my mind. I'm an atheistic person who loves to read Zarathustra instead of the bible. ;)

[Ki12B]

@ricardofolive And religious people don't do so? ;) Think about Mideast conflict or crusaders. And I have no problem with people who believe something, if it isn't in a religious or radical way.

[VetaeirYeln]

@ricardofolive As an atheist, I find your comment incredibly ignorant. I can't think of a single atheist who wants to *force* anyone to abandon their beliefs or faith. Now, I think it'd be nice if more people voluntarily chose to abandon faith, since I consider faith to be irrational and often detrimental -- but I will certainly defend people's right to have that faith.

To put it simply, I'd like to convince people that faith is unjustified; I'd never consider forcing that view on anyone.

[ricardofolive]

@VetaeirYeln You don´t know, but I know many. I received lots of e-mails from atheists asking me to put my faith in the garbagge. However, I never asked this to an atheist. Indeed I find your comment also incredibly ignorant: It is not because you've never seen a fact that thisis not true. And I had to ask him personally: please stop sending me these kind of emails. To put it simple: live and let live. Be an atheist and let those who do not want to be atheists live their faith

[walttermsilva]

@ricardofolive Thanks God only two percent of people on Earth are atheists, but I think they must be respected like anyone else.

[walttermsilva]

Tradução do original alemão desta música, apud ‘ENGLISH (original)’

PORTUGUESE

“Jesus sempre será minha alegria,

O consolo do meu coração e essência,

Jesus está presente em todo sofrimento,

Ele é a força da minha vida,

O desejo e a luz dos meus olhos,

O tesouro da minha alma e felicidade;

Por isso jamais deixarei Jesus sair,

Nem do meu coração e nem do meu rosto.”

[walttermsilva]

@Ki12B . On atheism, each person must live in accordance with his or her beliefs, and only time can tell who is right or wrong. No one but God owns the truth. I am a Christian.

[Ki12B]

@walttermsilva don't you think that it's silly to say there would be one big truth? :) It doesn't matter if you are religious, but you should think critical and many-sided instead of following things that you've just heard. To say that there would be things like "good" and "evil" or the one and only "truth" we call in my country "thinking with drawers". Just think about it.

[walttermsilva]

@Ki12B Ok, I respect your point of view. Thank you for your comment.

[Chrisy299]

Thank your for that nice piece with the great Kings College Choir.

The pics are nice to with all the towns Bach lived. He had such a miserable life in Leipzig and is now so honored. I don´t know if he would please that his grave in the St. Thomas Church now....

But the best is, 2012 the Kings College Choir will have a concert there for 800th anniversary of the Thomanerchor (St. Thomas Church Boys Choir) in Leipzig.

[xoxxios1]

Unfortunate that it is translated into English as "Jesus, joy of man's desiring". The German original, "Jesu, Thou are my joy", speaks of a passionate relationship that exists now, not some remote hope that may come to pass in the future. A reminder that Bach, who as a young man walked some 400 miles to hear Buxtehude play, was of flesh and blood, and wrote of his faith in music that has set the standard for artistic expression forever.

[Avenfenix]

Para mi Bach es uno de los mejores compositores. Luego está Beethoven, Mozart y Tchaicovsky. No sé en qué orden ponerlos. Aunque he de admitir que Canon in D mayor de Pachelbel es mi favorita. Pero nada comparado a todas las grandes piezas de estos compositores.

Mozart era un genio componiendo cualquier cosa. Hacía una obra maestra de todo. Así que creo que es el número 1 por excelencia. Pero los demás, están muy cerca.
