SUMMARY:Bach Akademie Australia Presents Bach's Motets
DESCRIPTION:Bach Akademie Australia joins forces with The Song Company and guest alto Iris Korfker under Artistic Director Madeleine Easton in a presentation of J S Bach’s motets and new works in two Sydney concerts. \nJ.S. Bach’s vocal motets represent the highest art of vocal writing achieved in the Baroque period and continue to have deep spiritual and emotional resonance. The only vocal works of Bach that remained in constant performance until the Bach revival of the early 19th century\, the motet’s themes of comfort\, resurrection\, and joy reflect their use in funerals and celebrations. \nBach Akademie Australia collaborates with Australia’s premier vocal ensemble The Song Company to present Bach’s seven surviving motets alongside two works of contemporary genius\, Australian composer Sandra Milliken’s Herr Jesus Christus and O Radiant Dawn by James MacMillan. \nJohann Sebastian Bach Motets\nLobet den Herrn\, alle Heiden (Praise the Lord\, all ye heathen)\, BWV23\nKomm\, Jesu\, komm (Come\, Jesus\, come)\, BWV 229\nIch lasse dich nicht (I will not let you go)\, BWV 1164\nDer Geist hilf unser Schwachheit auf (The Spirit gives aid to our weakness)\, BWV 226\nFürchte dich nicht\, ich bin bei dir (Do not fear\, I am with you)\, BWV 228\nJesu\, Meine Freude (Jesus\, my joy)\, BWV 227\nSinget dem Herrn ein neues Lied (Sing unto the Lord a new song)\, BWV 225 \nSandra Milliken Herr Jesus Christus (Lord Jesus Christ)\nJames MacMillan O Radiant Dawn \nSunday February 8 at 2.30pm Mosman Art Gallery \nThursday February 12 at 7.30pm St James’ Church\, King St\, Sydney \nTickets https://www.bachakademieaustralia.com.au/events\nor call 1300 785 377 \n
