Easter Oratorio

Whether one is religious or not, there is no denying the magnitude and beauty of Bach’s Easter Oratorio (BWV 249). I find it interesting that Bach based this work on a secular cantata, the Shepherd Cantata (BWV 249a), now lost.

Enjoy this rendition of the Easter Oratorio by Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Choir and Orchestra.

My Year of Bach.

This is an experiment.
I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

I need Bach in my daily life.

So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
