J. S. Bach - Motet "Singet Dem Herrn Ein Neues Lied" BWV 225 (3/3)

3. Lobet Den Herrn In Seinen Taten (8 parts concert) - Alles, Was Odem Hat (4 parts fugue)
Hilliard Ensamble
Text: Psalm 98 (1-3) and Psalm 150 (2;6)

Aria (Chorus I)
God, take still further now our part,
To his own little children dear,
So doth the Lord to all men,
If as pure children we him fear.
He sees our feeble powers,
God knows we are but dust;
For, lacking thee, nought shall we gain
Of all these our endeavors.
Just as the grass in mowing,
Or bud and falling leaf,
If wind but o'er it bloweth,
It is no longer there,
So be thou our true shield and light,
And if our hope betray us not,
Thou wilt thus henceforth help us.
E'en so is man's life passing,
His end to him is near.
Blest he whose hope both strong and firm
On thee and on thy grace doth rest.
[Ps. 150:2 and 6] (Chorus I, Chorus II)
Praise ye the Lord in all his doings, praise ye him in all his might and majesty!

Si se pudiese hacer comparaciones de esta obra con fenómenos de la vida diaria diría que su Aleluya es una verdadera exhibición de explosiones de fuegos artificiales, y una demostración de la alegría y la espiritualidad del ser humano al encontrarse con nuestro Señor.

@musicmakerscott Sounds about right to me.

This is fabulous musicianship. I wish I was part of an ensemble like this.

[musicmakerscott]

@qmorris2 Is this performed in a different key than the original?

[qmorris2]

It's so slow. :O
