Arp-Schnitger-Festival VI: Wege zu Bach

In the organizer's words:

Program:
Johann Christoph Bach: Cantata "Lord, turn and be gracious to me"
Johann Sebastian Bach: Cantata "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland" BWV 61
and other works

The organ Schnitger built for Ganderkesee in 1699 is one of his four best-preserved instruments today. It goes without saying that it is once again the setting for the final concert of the Arp Schnitger Festival. Under the direction of Lionel Meunier, the "Paths to Bach" studio traces the influences that provided the composer, who was born in Erfurt in 1685, with important inspiration. They also came from his own family! Johann Christoph, a cousin from the Arnstadt line, was considered by Johann Sebastian and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel to be a "profound composer", which is impressively underlined by his cantata "Herr, wende dich und sei mir gnädig". "Nun komm der Heiden Heiland" BWV 61, on the other hand, is one of Bach's best-known vocal works with its flourishing melodies and youthful freshness. The full program will be compiled in early summer when the studio participants have been selected. With further works from the Bach family and from predecessors in the office of Thomaskantor, it will then be shown once again that Johann Sebastian Bach's musical genius was inspired by many sources ...
