Bach - aria "Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott" from cantata BWV 129 - Gerard van Reenen, corgel

 

Aria for Alto Gelobet sei der Herr, mein Gott ( Mvt. 4) from Cantata BWV 129 [5:32 / 5:26]

Gerard van Reenen (Cogel = Cornett & Organ)
This aria has been written by Bach for alto, oboe d'amore and b.c. The perfotrmer plays the alto part on his cornet, the oboe part with the left hand on the manual and the b.c. with the feet on the pedals of the organ. He calls that way of making music: "playing corgel". the word corgel is a contraction of the two Dutch words cornet and orgel (=organ).
