Bach's motets are the pinnacle of choral music.
The way in which words are set to music here, how spiritual texts are illuminated and how the music swings, glides, floats and jubilates is simply unique. These works are a feast for choirs and audiences alike. They celebrate life, even though, or perhaps precisely because, some of them were written for funerals. Matthias Grünert has selected four of the master compositions for this Sunday concert. Four works that make the Sunday cantata (Singt!) particularly sonorous.
