The background
All souls
It is in connection with the silence of death that we often hear the most beautiful and most moving music. For this edition of All Souls, artistic leader Johanna Soller has chosen works from the early Baroque and works by John Cage, including his iconic silent piece, 4’33”.
“Not a note or harmony too many“
This year, the Bach Society is remembering the dead with music by predecessors of Bach. Johann Schelle, Sebastian Knüpfer and Johann Kuhnau preceded Bach in his position of Thomaskantor in Leipzig. And Bach looked to Johann Rosenmüller and Dietrich Buxtehude for inspiration regarding the art of composition. The recurring chorale melodies in their music form one big, hushed reflection on death. In the case of John Cage (1912-1992), this is distilled to its essence. There is not a note or harmony too many in his music, culminating in his famous composition 4’33’’, where only silence remains to be heard.
