Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme

My favorite cantata of all time.

Don't thank me, thank Stephen Malinowsky, the creator of the music animation machine.

This genius. Somehow by taking out the human element from this performance (i.e. using only synthesized voices and instruments), you mangage to highlight the innate humanity that is at the core of Bach's music. It is unspeakably beautiful, even in this matter-of-fact setting; maybe even more so, as the use of a computer program makes it possible to portray the music EXACTLY as it is written. Bach's music is the voice of the godhead, plain and simple.

I love this musical production, WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM USED TO COOL!

Had to laugh at 3:30.

I liked it very much but thought the tempo spoilt it. Can you please post a version with a slower temp please?

Thanks

BTW What program did you use to do the choir and to sing the lyrics? That could be extremely useful.

My favorite cantata of all time as well. Thanks.

The tenor line being up the octave threw me off for a short while.
