We open our 48th season with works by our namesake, Johann Sebastian Bach, continuing our exploration of his Lutheran masses. Composed in 1738, the Missa Brevis in A Major is a lovely work scored for flutes, strings, continuo, soloists and chorus, in which Bach draws upon movements from the Leipzig cantatas he was most proud of. Bach wrote the exquisite funeral cantata Lass, Fürstin, lass noch einen Strahl, BWV 198 for the funeral in 1727 of the beloved Queen Christiane Eberhardine of Saxony and Poland. The royally lavish orchestration for flutes, oboes damore, strings, lutes, and violas da gamba recalls the music of the French courts.
4 pm Sunday October 21, 2018 at First Congregational Church, 2345 Channing at Dana, Berkeley.
