The Swingle Singers - Bach - 'Bist du bei Mir'

The Swingle Singers are a mostly a cappella vocal group formed in 1962 in Paris, France with Ward Swingle, Anne Germain, Jeanette Baucomont and Jean Cussac. Christiane Legrand, the sister of composer Michel Legrand, was the lead soprano in the original French group. There are a total of eight members in the group: two sopranos, two altos, two tenors and two basses. In 1973, the original French group disbanded and Ward Swingle moved to London and re-formed the group with new members as Swingle II. They would later perform and record under the name The Swingles and then, The New Swingle Singers and eventually, simply, The Swingle Singers. Since the London group's incarnation, the group has never disbanded. Members have come and gone and the other members have re-auditioned for the voice part that has left.

Bist Du Bei Mir was composed by Gottfried Heinrich Stolzel, contemporary of JS Bach,for musical theater. It is often mistakenly credited to Bach. The Swingles arrangement and reharmonization is the work of Jonathan Rathbone. I think the best recording of it was done in the 80s when Rathbone was M.D. and singing bass with the group.

Beautiful harmonies of which Bach himself would have been proud.A truly worthy addendum to Riemenschneider's 371.

Whichever the century or the style of music; Bach is so perfect; He could be played or sang all around the world.. in all the styles, and instruments you could imagine! .His strenght: His Faith in God; undoubtly; He was able to reach the heaven, and bring us back a little bit of what he could have heard. Anna -Magdalena wrote that during the night, her husband woke up often, and wrote the most beautiful music, and tears were falling down on his cheeks at this moment..Francois.
