Spring Chorus and Orchestra Concert
the Music of Johann Sebastian Bach
Directed by Margret Gries, Harpsichord
The opening choral fantasia of Cantata No. 8 Liebster Gott, wann werd’ Ich
sterben is one of the most hauntingly beautifal works ever created. Colorful and richly
orchestrated (transverse flute, cornetto, two oboes d’amore, bassoon & strings) it is
followed by exquisite arias and a final chorale.
The double choir motet Der Geist Hilft is also colorful, with chorus I accompanied by four-part strings and chorus II accompanied by a four-part oboe band.
Our concertmaster Celia Rosenberger will play the A Minor Violin Concerto.
Saturday, April 28, 8pm, Newman Methodist Church, 6th and B Streets,
