Bach Resounding

17 October @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
£12.50

Bath Bach Choir comes home to present an evening devoted to the master, JS Bach, pairing his intimate Mass in F and substantial Cantata BMV 21 with the familiar strains of the first ‘Brandenburg’ Concerto.

Bach’s four-movement Brandenburg Concerto No 1 opens the programme, creating a sense of occasion with its rhythmic energy, colourful orchestration and lively interplaynbetween strings, wind and horns.

Bach’s Mass in F major brings warmth and expressive depth, a compact and richly varied example of his sacred choral writing. The Mass sets the first two sections of the traditional Latin Mass: Kyrie (asking for mercy) and Gloria ( a joyful proclamation of praise), using a four-part choir with soloists, strings, wind and continuo.

Cantata BMV 21 is one of Bach’s most emotionally powerful cantatas, less of a Baroque religious work than an exploration of the human experience of suffering, hope and ultimately joy. It is scored for four vocal soloists, chorus and orchestra.
