String Ensemble
Back Bay Chorale
Stephen Spinelli, conducting
Join us on this pathway to the cantatas, passions, and masses of Johann Sebastian Bach that have served as a throughline of Back Bay Chorale's programming for years. From the Medici Courts, and through the polychoral music of Saint Mark's, Venice, we will explore the Italian splendor that inspired Heinrich Schütz to incorporate these styles in Saxony. We will celebrate the virtuosity of Dietrich Buxtehude, which inspired a young Bach's famous trip to Lübeck. And, we will visit some lesser-known influences of the German Baroque, including Johann Schelle, who served as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, the job Bach would later occupy from 1723 until his death.
