Our recording samples are provided by the Netherlands Bach Society. Their monumental All of Bach project (to perform and record all of the works of J. S. Bach) serves as source material for our episodes. https://www.bachvereniging.nl/en https://www.bachvereniging.nl/en/allofbach Artwork by Sydney LaComCopyright 2021 A Moment of Bach.

  • Der Herr denket an uns (BWV 196): closing chorus

    Der Herr denket an uns (BWV 196): closing chorus
    Sep 29 2025

    Unabashed joy describes this short and sweet cantata, which Bach wrote at age 23 for a wedding. In its sparkling finale, some mysteries hide. A curiously unexpected tonality sets off the happy declamation of "ihr seid" (you are), with emphasis on "seid"; according to Bach we ARE blessed by God, rather than "us" being special.

    Then what do we make of the ending? Even in an early cantata which generally sounds like 1600s Lutheranism, some new special effects are hidden. Bach surprises us with his piano marking along with some Haydn/Mozart-like figurations. It's hard to listen to this level of happiness without cracking a smile.

  • Song: Vergiss mein nicht (BWV 505)

    Song: Vergiss mein nicht (BWV 505)
    Sep 22 2025

    Today we talk "Men in Black", "Coco", "Futurama", and hear a slappin' bass line from an 80's funk song. Oh, and some Bach. Remember to stop and smell the forget-me-nots -- in other words, enjoy those moments.

    In memoriam Fred Jacobs.

    Charles Daniels (tenor), Meineke van der Velden (da gamba), and Fred Jacobs (theorbo) performing "Vergiss mein nicht" (BWV 505) for the Netherlands Bach Society
