early music

This is an informal presentation of motets by J. S. Bach, other members of the Bach family, and contemporaneous works. The program explores the breadth of seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century motet repertory.

This concert features larger-scale works, including Bach's famous motets Komm, Jesu, komm, Singet dem Herrn, and Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf. The program concludes with the breathtaking and astonishing music of Bach's Missa in A major, one of his four settings of the Lutheran Mass.
