Bach at One
A sacred work of mourning and comfort
This afternoon, hear Musikalische Exequien, op. 7, by the great German composer Heinrich Schütz, a funeral piece that parallels the traditional Latin Requiem in expressing mortality, comfort, and hope. This collection of motets, one of the finest choral cycles of the 17th century, had a far-reaching impact. You’ll note a similar style while listening to Bach’s Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf.
Trinity Choir; led by Avi Stein, organ
