The sweat has washed out the curls of his wig and the pen is racing across the music paper: Johann Sebastian Bach composes the Christmas oratorio in a very short space of time - using a tried and tested method: music theory calls "parody" what others condemn as "plagiarism".

 

Bach quotes himself, and a good steal is half the battle: he borrows the beginning of his oratorio from an old congratulatory cantata and – for God's sake – the affect is the same in both compositions: joy and jubilation! This Bachian and Christmassy feeling has been written into the DNA of the festival since the festival hall opened in winter 2012. We hold on to this tradition.
