I sang this cantata with a choir in 2007. The following year, I lost a dear friend, with whom I had lunch the day before. His niece sang this cantata at his funerals. Since I understand every word, the sadness is worse. I still cannot stop crying, each time I hear it.
I sung this with a children’s choir as a child over 30 years ago. I’m still remember every word and still have the sheet music. This brings back wonderful memories.
« If you're with me, I'll go with joy » is a Aria from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzels Opera Diomedes, which premiered in 1718. The « Aria » is known as « Bist du bei mir » (BWV 508), a version for voice and continuo, which can be found as No. 25 in the 1725 music booklet for Anna Magdalena Bach. Stölzel and Bach were in the same places at different times and shared knowledge, but whether they met in person can only be assumed. The Bach family copied dozens of Stölzel pieces in their public and private musical practices with or without Stölzel's approval. History will tell according to the research of musicologists. This composition will be orchestrated later by Thomas Frost. I am very moved by this beautiful soprano voice. *Lucien* Aria: « If you are with me, I will go with joy die and rest. Oh, how happy my ending would be, your beautiful hands closing my faithful eyes. » *Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel*
Thank you for sharing the this information regarding "Bist du bei mir. BTW, I highly recommend listening to Stölzels Concerto Grosso "a Quattro Chori."
@@danawinsor1380 Thank you for your appreciation. The partition or score of this opera (aria) long thought to be lost, was found in 2000 at the kyiv Conservatory in Ukraine. Among his instrumental compositions are four Concerti Grossi of which the Quattro Chori is the best known. Thanks for your interest in baroque music. *Lucien*
Mit diesem Trost kommt die Arie wieder auf ihren Anfang zurück: Gott ist da. Er lässt dich seine Nähe erfahren. Und trägt dich über den Abgrund. Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden zum Sterben und zu meiner Ruh. The presence of God takes the fear out of dying and in anticipation of the communion with Christ joy returns. Diese Glaubensgewissheit ist zutiefst sakral.
@@ArcheNova1resistance Hm, diese Arie singt Diomedes in Gegenwart von Pulcheria, der Kronprinzessing von Trapezunt, und das "Du" im Titel ist ganz klar an eben jene gerichtet. @Mulligan1212's Antwort war also, zumindest auf die Oper, aus der diese Arie stammt, vollkommen korrekt. Es ist eine wunderschöne Liebesarie eines irdischen Mannes an eine irdische Frau.
This music is not by Bach. It is by Stoelzel (Stölzel). That is by now fairly well established. The melody definitely is. I assume the basso continuo is too. I have not checked yet. But there is more, Stoelzel was German. But the music is not German. It is Italian. That is where Stoelzl went to learn his trade from several masters. The melody was composed fairly soon after, fresh back from Italy as it were. You can hear that Stoeltzel learned a lot. But there is more, there is more. All this illustrates what the great Dutch musicologist Curt Rudolph Mengelberg wrote in his German(!) PhD dissertation on Giovanni Alberto Ristori: Italy is the mother of all music ("die Mutter aller Musik"). But there is more, there is more, there is more. Surely, Johann Sebastian would have raised his eyebrows at the above characterization. Not at all, not at all. The preserved historical record transmits that he confessed to family and friends that Italy taught him how to think musically. PS None of the above is meant in any way as a criticism of Bach's great music. It is just that the history of Western music needs to be turned upside down. And Johann Sebastian will do quite well for himself. Trust me.
Beautiful and sincere singing! Bravo!

The instrumentalists could do it, but the vocalist had to warble her way through the piece
Бесподобно!
Are those Germans?
Ich finde die Stimme nicht schön, furchtbar quietschig. Gehört aber wahrscheinlich so.
