Aryeh Oron, Sir, words cannot express my gratitude, my debt to you.
I have been a Bach lover since 1957 when I was invalided for nearly six months, laid up and dependent on my disks for entertainment. A friend lent me some disks, among them Mogens Woldike's performance of BWV 29. I was simply carried away. I began buying every Bach cantata disk available locally (San Diego, California). I remember Fritz Werner in particular. And I have been collecting ever since, but never before with the knowledge, the background, the opinions, the arguments that I found on your websites.
The results have been to make me aware of music and aspects of music that I knew not of. I read the equivalent of volumes of the history and analysis of Bach's music that you organized and made available. I learned which of your readers' opinions and tastes worked for me. I have become pen pals with several of them.
Thus, you have contributed more than anyone ever to my nightly encounters with the magic of Bach (and, yes, I will admit, a few other composers -- my disk collection is almost exactly half Bach and half everybody else).
Happy New Year from one of your grateful fans! |

First of all, congratulations for your website. It´s amazing.
I´m interested in contribute with a galician translation of a cantata made in my school between 3º ESO class (15th years old teenagers) and their galician teacher.
We are going to a educational concert on wednesday, 11th of may. I´m going to play the violin with a sopran and the organ of the monastery of Celanova. We are playing the aria of the BWV 211 bach-cantata, the coffe cantata. The pupils will read the text in Galician, like a little dramatic representation, and then we`ll play it.
If you are interested in the traslation please write me to send you.
Thank you very much for your attention. |

Dear Aryeh: I think these are good resources, along with the current BCW pages (some awesome work from you and Thomas Braatz), Braatz' Provenance and NBA summaries, Doug Cowling's work on the Lutheran Church Year, various Commentaries, Julian Mincham's essays on each cantata, and Francis Browne's translations and annotations. There are other good Discussion topics such as the Recordings (with notes) as well as topics such as Chafe's Tonal Allegory (in the current BWV 178 Discussion 1 commentary of Braatz), theological themes, the genesis and compositional process of each work, and historical/cultural conditions surrounding the actual compositions. We also could do an updated list of Bach's self-borrowings. While some may think that the BCW on its third discussion cycle is running its course, I think that the BCW is becoming a significant and unique Bach resource for Bach lovers, scholars, performers, students, advocates, friends, fans, junkies, etc. |

I have noted the article on http://www.EarlyMusicNews.org for our readers to enjoy as well.

My name is Jung Jin Baek, a DMA student of Choral Conducting program at CCM in U of Cincinnati.
First, I would like to say thank you for your incredible contribution on BCW.
It has been a great guide and help to my journey to know Bach for a long time.
Also, having Bach's Quinquagesima Cantatas for my document project, it couldn't be possible without this website.
<>
By the way, I am attaching the article by Peter Wollny in P. Herreweghe's recording (Jesu deine Passion: BWV 23, 23, 127, 159); I typed it for my reference source.
If you want, you may add this to the commentary page in BCW where I've got many important ideas, too.
Thank you, |

Thank you Aryeh Oron for all your work. These pages are a treasure. I have only a passing experience with the Cantatas of Bach. Most of my playing has been limited to chorales to fill in time needed in services as I sit at the organ. I've learned so much and hope to continue to learn as I read what is here. Please understand that I have not posted much as I quickly saw how little I know and could contribute, but truly appreciate. |

Arie Ron wrote (November 10, 2011):
A dear person passed away these days and I searched in the web for a reliable translation of Bach's Cantata # 159, specifically the Bass and Oboe Aria "Es ist Vollbracht" and the Choral thereafter...For me these two present my deep grief best. I specially like young Fischer Dieskau's performance with Forester. I was surprised by the accurate and beautiful translation into Hebrew as done by yourself.
KOL HAKAVOD ! |

The reference heading said "Cantatas in church" - let me tell you, that in my congregation we perform every sunday a Bach Cantate during the Sunday service.
This project takes one (liturgical) year, we started on the first sunday in Advent four weeks ago. next week we will have of course BWV 248 I and 248 II on 25th and 26th december.
The website Bachcantatas.com helps me a lot - Thank you very much for it!
I wish a blessed christmas to all of you, |
