Heinrich Schutz - O Jesu, Nomen Dulce - Andreas Scholl

Note: For some reason I don't understand, some parts of the video is out of sync slightly. It looks just fine on wmp but apparently something happened in the process of uploading it..

Heinrich Schutz
(1585-1672)
From "Kleine geistliche Konzerte Vol II
SWV 308


O Jesu, nomen dulce,
nomen admirabile, nomen confortans,
quid enim canitur suavius,
quid auditur jucundius,
quid cogitatur dulcis,
quam Jesu, Dei filius.
O nomen Jesu, verus animae cibus,
in ore mel, in aure melos,
in corde laetitia mea.
Tuum itaque nomen, dulcissime Jesu,
in aeternum in ore meo portabo.

This is really ... perfect... It sounds like an angel voice...

But these are'nt the good notes, are these? A C sounds like an A. Maybe it was too high for scholl...

Thanks for posting! This video is great!

(i'm sorry for my english, i'm french...)

Che bello!

@zhaobudao it's just these songs can be transposed at will...

In the score it's G "minor" for saying it so.

Scholl as it seems, has recorded this in E "minor" with A=415Hz.

And it suits perfect for alto register, if you agree with me.

O nomen Jesu, verus animae cibus

In ore mel, in aure melos

(O name of Jesus, true food of the soul)

(Honey in my mouth, song in my ear)

I guess the lyric "Honey in my mouth" describes baroque period very well, one of their biggest fun was eating honey, how pure is that?

"Mir, Elischahma und Delaila gefällt das ganz arg..."

[RamirRMA]

This is so fucking beautiful...

@civileso Do you know who the lutenist is on this recording?

[amatorynumber]

Let us praise Schutz too!!! An unbelievable composer.

@zhaobudao As a matter of fact, it was too low :-) notice is G 8 clef. It is meant to be sung by a tenor, so he transposed it up. I am guessing.
