THE Yorkshire Bach Choir will end its 32nd season tomorrow with a performance of Bach’s Lutheran Mass in G.
One of his four smaller-scale Latin masses, setting the words of the Kyrie and Gloria, it will be performed alongside two great cantatas.
“Cantata 131 has a sombre intensity in its setting of Psalm 130 (Out Of The Deep), while the great Reformation Cantata (No. 80), Ein Feste Burg, is one of the most famous of Bach’s cantatas and is based on the great affirmative chorale, possibly composed by Luther himself,” says conductor Peter Seymour.
“This is a very exciting programme to conclude the season. Yorkshire Bach Choir hasn’t performed the two cantatas before and the Lutheran Mass only once, so this completes a season of discovery for both choir and audience.”
Tickets for the 7.30pm concert in St Michael-le-Belfrey cost £20.
