The background
All Souls
Every year, the Bach Society remembers the dead with the most beautiful Baroque music. This year, bass and conductor Lionel Meunier has chosen gems by Purcell, Morley, Fux and J.C. Bach, which were written for royal funerals.
“Wonderful, soothing, spiritual music“
Every religion has its own way of dealing with death. For All Souls, Lionel Meunier – artistic director of the acclaimed Belgian vocal ensemble Vox Luminis – is bringing together the Anglican, Catholic and Protestant views of saying farewell. The programme goes from the stately English funeral music of Purcell and Morley, written on the deaths of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, via the hopeful works of Bach’s cousin Johann Christoph Bach, to the moving Kaiserrequiem by Fux, composed for the late empress Eleonora von Neuburg. A religious triptych filled with wonderful, soothing, spiritual music to commemorate the dead.
