That's my favorite part too. If only Bach could have known how much He would be loved in the centuries following His passing.

I think so? Yeah. That trumpet is really bothering me. I sang this in Barcelona and I remember that it is supposed to be played by the oboe's.

These are the 2 minutes which confirmed my opinion of J. Bach, who actually didn't write much outside of the German language. This is probably the best presentation of the hymn on Youtube, in my opinion, from having downloaded about every one--except for the disappointing (!) fact that it is only in 240p.

@GV32 - I tend to think it was Schoenberg's deliberate rejection of the obvious (tonality) that killed most people's appreciation of his music. And as far as I'm concerned, that was the fate it deserved. I'm not saying everything has to sound like any kind of Western music in order to be "tonal"; I'm saying there are psychoacoustical laws we ignore at our peril and that most world music has the sense to follow.

@skyler807 it is supposed to be played by a trumpet, and an oboe played with you. usually oboes played it because this piece calls for an Eb natural trumpet, and the common natural trumpets were in C and D, and played only in those keys until invention of valved trumpets&horns. the options are: play in D, play with oboe, play with valved trumpet... or find an Eb natural trumpet

@skyler807 You are making a mistake. This is the 1723 first version of the Magnificat, it is in E-flat. The definite version is the one of 1731, with the key in D. There the oboes play the "tonus peregrinus" instead of the flute, and the recorders (here) where changed to trnaverso flutes. This is the Magnificat in E-flat BWV 243a.

Hallelujah!!!

My favorite movement. Divine!

an splendid masterpiece

@bachkirche I think he may well have known how well he would be loved by the future. Other than the sheer joy of composing, there is no logical explanation why he would compose a mammoth piece like the Mass in B minor or the Art of the Fugue. He well knew that he was the 'sleeper of sleepers'. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Schoenberg although he seemed to feel his time was yet to come. Imo it is his 20th century intellectualism that killed the common man's realization of good music

Ton Koopman has reached legendary status.
