Cantata
Bringet dem Herrn Ehre seines Namens, BWV 148
Bring to the Lord the glory due his name
The 56th season of Bach Cantata Vespers at Grace begins with Bach’s festive cantata for the 17th Sunday after Trinity, based on a gospel text about honoring the Sabbath. The first movement is a jubilant contrapuntal work for chorus, trumpet, oboe, and string orchestra. After a pair of virtuosic arias, the cantata concludes with an earnest prayer for guidance at all times.
Harpsichordist Jory Vinikour of Chalon-sur-Saône, France, joins the Bach Cantata Vespers Orchestra to perform Bach’s famous Concerto No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052, as the prelude to the service at 3:45 p.m.
