Two Bach Cantatas will be featured at this performance, as well as a Haydn concerto.
- Bach’s Cantata 146 Wir müssen durch viel Trübsal in das Reich Gottes eingehen (Through great tribulation we enter the kingdom of God). In this cantata, we hear virtuosic organ writing and Bach’s brilliant transcribing of other works. It has not been performed at the Festival since 1942!
- Cantata 149 Man Singet mit Freuden vom sieg (Let songs of rejoicing be raised) – a brilliant opening chorus, using trumpets and timpani along with an utterly charming alto/tenor duet with bassoon obligato, sets the tone of this triumphant cantata.
Franz Joseph Haydn: Second Concerto for Horn in D Major. Greg Funfgeld is delighted to feature his esteemed colleague and friend, our principal horn Anthony Cecere, as soloist in Franz Joseph Haydn’s Second Concerto for Horn in D Major. “Every year, Tony thrills and delights us with his performance of the “Quoniam” from the Mass in B Minor – this virtuosic turn promises to be pure joy!”
