Thousand Upon Thousands

6/11/2016

 
by Rebecca Cochran
 
I love Bach’s Ascension Day cantata (BWV 43), composed in 1726, his third year in Leipzig. Festively scored for four vocal soloists, four-part choir, trumpets, timpani, oboe and strings, each of its 11 movements is brief, making it no longer than most of the other cantatas.
 
I’m particularly fond of the tenor aria, Ja tausend mal tausend begleiten den Wagen (Indeed thousand upon thousands accompany the chariots) with its lilting rhythms. Enjoy this recording by Concentus Musicus Wien, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt.

I love to hear some instruments and I love to witness a play and the sound of the bass and the drums are one of the few things that I love to hear and I want to hear the harmony and how they are all combine to make a masterpiece that will entertain the crowd. I want to go there and I want to be alone, so that I may not be disturbed by anyone. I am waiting for this to happen in my life.

    My Year of Bach.

    This is an experiment.
    I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

    ​I need Bach in my daily life.

    ​So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
