Netherlands Bach Society | Bach - Christe, aller Welt Trost BWV 670 - Van Doeselaar | Netherlands Bach Society @bach | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 8 hours ago
This 'Christe, aller Welt Trost', performed here by Leo van Doeselaar for All of Bach, is the second piece from the 'Kyrie, Christe and Kyrie' BWV 669-671. The three pieces are composed around the long melodies of a ‘trope’: a standard hymn with extra texts, so in this case ‘Kyrie/Christe/Kyrie […] eleison’. Each piece is devoted to one facet of the Trinity, whereby Bach gives a symbolic place to the cantus firmus (the existing melody): first to God the Father in the soprano; then to God the Son among the voices in the tenor, and finally to God the Holy Ghost in the pedal bass.
In this performance, Leo van Doeselaar chose to use the stop 'vox humana' with tremulant. In this video, he explains that choice: youtu.be/te-NgU5xHh0
Recorded for the project All of Bach on September 18th 2020 at Freiberger Dom Sankt Marien, Freiberg, Germany. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/3J5uprM.
