Works Include: J.S. Bach Mass in A Major, Cantata BWV98 Was Gott tut, das ist Wohlgethan (excerpts), Cantata BWV106 Gottes Zeit ist die Allerbeste Zeit, Ich Folge Dir Gleichfalls from St. John Passion, Marc-Antoine Charpentier De Profundis Clamavi
The Giovanni Players will join the Giovanni Consort in a program that features sacred works from three generations of baroque masters. The Mass in A major is one of the most elegant and charming of Bach’s Lutheran Masses and a work that looks back to earlier more conservative forms and forward to the gallant style of the late eighteenth-century.
Composed for the private funeral of Maria Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV, the exquisite motet De profundis clamavi was not only a personal tribute to a beloved royal patron, but a political and aesthetic statement for his own critics at the Court of the ‘Sun King’, as well as a treasure for all ages.
Conductor: David Gething
