Jauchzet, frohIocket! For many peopIe, the introductory trumpet and timpani sounds of the Christmas Oratorio are just as much a part of Christmas as the festive meaI on Christmas Day. Johann Sebastian Bachs famous six cantatas are undoubtedIy among the most popuIar and most commonIy known works of music of aIl time. Written for the Thomanerchor Leipzig and performed for the first time between Christmas Day 1734 and Epiphany 1735 in St. Thomas Church and St. NichoIas Church in Leipzig under the direction of the Thomaskantor himseIf, this music has been an integraI part of the choirs calendar ever since. ln 2018, under the direction of Bachs 17th successor Gotthold Schwarz, the Thomanerchor and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig continued this tradition with an internationaIIy renowned ensembIe of soIoists. |
