Christmas Oratorio

Approved

The emphatic call “Jauchzet, frohlocket! Auf, preiset die Tage!” (Rejoice, exult! Rise up, praise the day!), accompanied by timpani and trumpets, heralds the festive season not only for classical music enthusiasts. For Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, which begins with this invitation to celebrate, stands for the festival of light and love like no other opus.Johann Sebastian Bach created this masterpiece in 1734 as a cycle of six cantatas for the Christmas season, partly drawing on music that he had already composed previously: many of the impressive choruses and captivating arias were taken from secular works, which meant that they could be performed regularly and not just the once. Of all of Bach’s major works, the festive Christmas Oratorio is today his most popular and frequently performed. In the Advent season, the Munich Bach Choir, together with its traditional partners the Munich Bach Orchestra plus renowned soloists, devotes itself to Bach’s masterpiece.
