SPRING 2008
J.S. Bach
Directed by harpsichordist Margret Gries
Bach referred to the
opening chorus of Cantata 8 as Chorale Fantasia, a rare
designation and indeed it is one of the most hearth
meltingly beautiful moments in all of his work, or
anyone's, with its pair of oboes damore and traverso
spinning out their magic over, under and through the
underlying orchestral and choral background. One
of the six motets and the first Brandenburg Concerto
round out the program.
Cantata BMV 8 - Bach
Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 - Bach
Saturday, March 8th, 8PM,
Newman United Methodist Church, Grants Pass
