The Birmingham Bach Choir returns to its spiritual home in November after some fascinating and exciting exploration of different repertoire in recent concerts. A programme of J S Bach brings us back to home territory but singing music which the choir has not performed before. Everyone is familiar with the great B minor Mass (which the choir performed for Paul Spicer’s 25th anniversary concert in 2017 in Birmingham Town Hall) but nothing like so well known are his four other settings of the Mass, the Missae Brevae.
We will be singing the Mass in G minor BWV235 which is full of beautiful music, as are the two cantatas we perform that evening to complete the programme: Wir danken dir, Gott BWV29, famous for its virtuoso organ introduction which will be brilliantly played by Martyn Rawles, and Ich hatte viel bekümmernis BWV21, one of the loveliest of Bach’s cantatas. This will be a memorable concert for the performers and audience alike and we look forward to it with great anticipation.
The concert will be performed in one of our favourite venues: St Philip’s Cathedral
