Bach and Charpentier

Sunday, November 19th

Come join the Calgary Bach Choir, Chamber Orchestra and soloists all under the direction of Terry Edwards for a program that combines the spirit of Thanksgiving with the anticipation of Christmas.

The Baroque Age has provided us with music that has become like a soundtrack to our lives. Bach’s “Nun danket alle Gott” (Now thank we All Our God), based on the German chorale tune of the same name, is a familiar melody around autumn and the season for thanksgiving.  Indeed, the choral last movement practically dances and sings for joy! Here’s your chance to hear the entire cantata.

The French Baroque is bursting with simple, yet singable (and danceable) noëls that celebrate the upcoming Christmas season.  Charpentier’s “Messe de Minuit pour Noël” contains many familiar French melodies. Rounding out the program is instrumental music  by Daquin & Corrette for organ and chamber orchestra based on noëls.

Programme:
J.S. Bach – Cantata, BWV 192
Daquin – Grand Jeu et Duo X
Corrette – Symphonie des Noëls II
M.A. Charpentier – Messe de Minuit pour Noël

Soloists:

Aoife Bonaventura, alto
Tyler Fitzgerald, bass-baritone
Antonina Cox, continuo organ & harpsichord

The CKUA Events Calendar is a listing of music, arts, and culture happenings for the whole province. It is a terrific resource that CKUA offers to the community, to share details about concerts, gallery openings, plays, and films.

Please note that due to the amount of listings, we publish events that focus on music, arts, or culture. While we'd love to publish all submitted items, the sheer number of events means that we sometimes have to decline submissions.
