Emmanuel Music: Bach Solo Cantatas

Boston-based Emmanuel Music is an ensemble that was formed with the goal of weekly performances of Bach’s cantatas, in residence at Boston’s historic Emmanuel Church. “At Emmanuel Music, we find in the power, brilliance, and immediacy of Bach’s music a poignant representation of the human condition and humanity’s relationship with something beyond itself, which can be called ‘the divine.’” (Pamela Dellal) Emmanuel Music continues their cantata cycle, with in depth notes and translations of each cantata.

The three cantatas featured in this performance vary in instrumentation as much as they do reception. Learn more about each cantata by clicking their title below, courtesy of Emmanuel Music.
