J.S.Bach - SHEEP MAY SAFELY GRAZE (Arranged for Organ by André Isior, BWV 208)

Описание: In this video I play the aria "Schafe können sicher weiden" arranged for organ (Sheep may safely graze) from the Hunting Cantata, BWV 208 on the Caen sample set by Sonus Paradisi. This version is not arranged by Virgil Fox but the French organist André Isior, which has made a very fine work by transcribing a lot of movements from different Bach cantatas to be played on the organ. I can highly recommend the online store at: https://www.editions-delatour.com/gb/... which has a lot of other great scores available if you are into French organ music and arrangements (not a sponsor :-).

This secular cantata was composed on the occasion of the 31st birthday of Duke Christian of Saxe-Weissenfels in 1713. (German: Schafe können sicher weiden) is a soprano aria by Johann Sebastian Bach to words by Salomon Franck. The piece was written in 1713 and is part of the cantata Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd, BWV 208 (Only the lively hunt pleases me).

The text of the Aria is as follows:
Schafe können sicher weiden,
wo ein guter Hirte wacht.
Wo Regenten wohl regieren,
kann man Ruh und Friede spüren
und was Länder glücklich macht.
