Bach - Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr BWV 664 - Smits | Netherlands Bach Society
On a first hearing, ’Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr’, performed by Reitze Smits for All of Bach, might only just count as a chorale arrangement, as we have to wait until almost the end to gain a recognisable glimpse of the popular melody, a German adaptation of the Gloria. But just as in BWV 662 and 663, the theme is actually everywhere (the virtuoso runs skirt or ornament the melody), only now Bach is hiding it behind an exuberant dancy piece pervaded by Italian elegance.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on November 29th 2013 at the Lutheran Church, The Hague. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel and consider donating
