“The most beautiful choral music in centuries“
The six motets written by Bach are some of the most beautiful pieces of choral music produced over the past centuries. In this programme around Remembrance Day and Liberation Day, we are singing three of Bach’s vocal gems, conducted by Baroque specialist Václav Luks. The programme also includes poignant Passion music by Luks’ compatriot Jan Dismas Zelenka, who is sometimes known as the ‘Czech Bach’.
When Bach wrote a motet, it was usually for a funeral or memorial service. However, we do not know if this was also the case for Singet dem Herrn. The work combines reflections on mortality with a carefree festive character. So this programme brings together modesty and exuberance.
