Come from Cantata BWV 140

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, BWV 140, also known as Sleepers, Wake, is a cantata written in 1731 by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is scored for horn, 2 oboes, taille (an instrument similar to the oboe da caccia, today often substituted with an English horn), violino piccolo, violin, viola, basso continuo, and choir with soprano, tenor, and bass soloists.

In the modern three-year Revised Common Lectionary, however, the reading is scheduled for Proper 27, or the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, in the first year of the three-year cycle of lessons. Thus, the hymn or the cantata are commonly performed in churches on that Sunday. The text and its eschatological themes are also commonly associated with the early Sundays of the season of Advent, and so the cantata is also commonly performed during that season.

Chorus master: Gerhard Schmidt-Goden

  • god save the queen,and william and catherine also,............

  • Ahh, Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou made a great version of this song.

  • Sie sind wirklich ein Bewunderin des Tölzer Knabenchors! Auf einen 8 Monate alten Kommentar zu antworten!

  • ¡Oh! Yo también estoy de acuerdo. La primera vez que escuché este fragmento lloré de pura emoción; este fragmento en esta versión, maticemos (muy importante el dato). Además este coro es en sí una joya; bueno, los dos: el fragmento escrito por Bach y el coro de niños de Tölz, ¡jejeje! La combinación perfecta. ¡Gracias, Harnoncourt y Schmidt-Gaden!

  • Ciertamente hubo un pequeño error de cálculo y éso que ahora estoy con la distribución de los números primos de Riemann y su famosa conjetura.Son 30 segundos.¡Gracias 3cplantin!

  • I agree, debartzen! And the part from 4.43-5.13 is amazingly beautiful -- but I'd carry it on about 10 seconds more (los 30 segundos mas intensos de toda...). I only wish the video had the choir and orchestra pictured.

  • De lejos la mejor interpretación.Concentus musicus de Wien,Coro de niños de tolz,Harnoncourt.

    Ritmo,recogimiento,fraseo,Plan­os sonoros perfectos.

    (4.43-5.13 mins)Los 20 segundos mas intensos de toda la integral de las cantatas de JSB.
