Motets - Dutch Bach Society

Bach's six motets are among recent centuries' most beautiful choral music. The Dutch Bach Society, led by baroque specialist Václav Luks, sings 3 of these vocal pearls in this program on the eve of Remembrance Day and Liberation Day. In addition, there is moving passion music by Luks' compatriot Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745), also known as the 'Czech Bach'.

Subdued and exuberant

When Bach wrote a motet, he usually did so for a funeral ceremony or memorial gathering. We do not know whether this also applies to Singlet dem Herrn . In any case, the work does not exude a sad mood but has a carefree, festive character. In this program, modesty and exuberance come together.
