Remember you must die – but live for the present. A hopeful All Souls’ programme with music by Bach’s predecessors and relatives.
“Remembering with Bach“
For centuries, 2 November has been the day that the Western Christian tradition remembers the dead, under the name of All Souls’ Day. Every year, the Bach Society remembers with Bach. This year, we listen to how Bach’s predecessors and relatives saw All Souls. Harpsichordist and organist Bart Naessens delves into German Baroque, focusing on music by Johann Michaël Bach, Johann Christoph Bach and Heinrich Schütz. Music that is grounded in the mortality of mankind – memento mori, remember you must die – yet also brings a positive note: carpe diem. If death is inevitable, then live for the present.
