Bach - Chorale Meine Seele erhebet den Herrn BWV 324 | Netherlands Bach Society

In Bach’s Leipzig, Luther’s translation of ‘Meine Seele erhebet den Herrn’ was sung every week during vespers, on Saturday and Sunday, in a simple setting by Schein, while more complex versions were put on the music stands for high feast days. The chorale setting sung here by the Young Bach Fellows - the Netherlands Bach Society's young talent programme - begins like the closing chorale of the cantata Meine Seele erhebt den Herren, BWV 10, but from the second phrase switches to sections with no written rhythm for the text in between. The idea is that the singers recite the text, like in Gregorian psalms or English chants.
