…[1685 – 1750]

Ακούστε »»»‘Gloria in excelsis Deo‘, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, was actually part of a short mass that Bach presented as a gift to the Elector of Dresden. So the music was not intended for Leipzig and was not supposed to be performed there. A pity, and maybe Bach thought so too. We do not know precisely why and when he rewrote the gloria from the mass as a cantata. It is remarkable that Bach chose to use a Latin text for his Leipzig arrangement as well, as Latin church music was not common in Leipzig. But evidently an occasion presented itself, and Leipzig could thus enjoy Christmas music in regal style. Recorded for the project All of Bach on December 17th 2015 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden.

Album: After Midnight, 1956

They call
There is sorrow in his face
And sadness in his eyes
And if you look into the heart
Within the lonely one
You’ll find it’s been deceived
That broken was in lies.
With the longing to hide
All your heartaches and fears.
Is it wise to be cold, and to
Struggle, to hold back with tears.
If you could only see the boy
They call the lonely one,
You’d know that since you’re gone
The lonely one is me.

Henri Salvador (Cayenne, Guyane 1917 – Paris 2008)


J‘aimerais tant voir Syracuse
L’île de Pâques et Kairouan
Et les grands oiseaux qui s’amusent
A glisser l’aile sous le vent
Voir les jardins de Babylone
Et le palais du Grand Lama
Rêver des amants de Vérone
Au sommet du Fouzi Yama
Voir le pays du matin calme
Aller pêcher le cormoran
Et m’enivrer de vin de palme
En écoutant chanter le vent
Avant que ma jeunesse s’use
Et que mes printemps soient partis
J’aimerais tant voir Syracuse
Pour m’en souvenir à Paris
