J S Bachâs Christmas Oratorio: Parts 1, 2, 3 and 6
Saturday 3 December 2022, 7.30pm
Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge
With Mary Bevan, Iestyn Davies, James Gilchrist, Neal Davies, Graham Ross & Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Clare College Choir are delighted to present Parts 1, 2, 3 and 6 of J S Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Designated by Alfred DuÌrr as one of the pinnacles of world musical literature, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio was composed for the Christmas church festival at Leipzig in 1734. This included not only Christmas Day and the two following days, but also the Feast of the Circumcision, the Sunday after New Year and the Feast of the Epiphany. Thus it spread over into the New Year of 1735. Although Bach performed the Christmas Oratorio in six separate parts, it nevertheless forms a complete and unified work.
