Bach’s St. John Passion
"A tour de force! Well, what can I say? It was amazing, wonderful, especially the second part. I really had not expected anything like that and I wish I could sing!"
Event
Bach: B Minor Mass
The Mass in B minor is Bach's only complete setting of the Mass and, though we hear it now as one unified work standing in its own right, Bach did not write it as such. Only towards the end of his life, probably around 1748-9, did he bring together earlier compositions into the one complete work.

Baroque Splendour
The Christmas Oratorio by J.S. Bach (1685-1750) is a series of cantatas originally written to be performed in the two most important churches in Leipzig on six different days between Christmas 1734 and the feast of Epiphany in 1735. It incorporates some of the finest movements of several secular cantatas that Bach had already written as birthday or other celebrations. (This performance featured cantatas 1-3 only; cantatas 4-6 will be performed at our concert in January 2017).
Event
Bach and Buxtehude
'Lobet den Herrn' ('Praise the Lord, all ye nations') is one of Bach's famous set of six motets and represents four-part choral writing at its best. Completing the programme was 'Ad ubera portabimini' from Buxtehude's extraordinary collection of cantatas Membra Jesu nostri ('The limbs of our Jesus'). Bach walked 260 miles from Arnstadt to Lobeck to meet the Danish-German Buxtehude and to hear him play; we were delighted that many journeyed from all around to enjoy our performance of these two composers' wonderful music.
