3 December 2023, 12.00
Bach in Leipzig
The 2023 series concludes with the Christmas version of Bach’s glorious setting of the Magnificat, the words in St Luke’s Gospel spoken by the Virgin Mary on the occasion of her Visitation to her cousin Elizabeth. The traditional Latin text is interpolated with inserted sections in a mixture of German and Latin added especially for performance on Christmas Day 1723. Three-hundred years later, it provides a joyful and fitting end to this year of Bach in Leipzig concerts. Preceding this is Siehe zu, daß deine Gottesfurcht nicht Heuchelei sei, a cantata from earlier in the liturgical year characterised by its strictly contrapuntal choral writing in the opening movement.
