Together singing/playing Bach—can it get any better? This is the well-known first aria from BWV51, "Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen."

English translation:
Praise ye God in ev'ry nation!
All that heaven and the world
Of created order hold
Must be now his fame exalting,
And we would to this our God
Likewise now present an off'ring
For that he midst cross and woe
Always hath stood close beside us.
 
Be warned that not all of their collaborations are of this high standard. In this case, Kathleen Battle brought Wynton Marsalis up to her level; in videos one can see on YouTube, he rather brought her down to his.

Wow, I thought WM was a world-class musician, but I mostly assumed that from his popular reputation. What do you mean?
