Nun komm der Heiden Heiland BWV 62 and BWV61; Ärgre dich, o Seele, nicht BWV 186a; Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben BWV 147
Johann Sebastian Bach composed only a small, but extraordinary, number of cantatas for the four Sundays preceding Christmas.
Soloists from English Touring Opera and the Old Street Band combine with the local Cantamus Chamber Choir in two contrasting and powerful settings of Martin Luther's great chorale Nun komm der Heiden Heiland (Now come, saviour of the heathens) written for the first Sunday of Advent.
The programme also includes the joyful Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben (Heart and mouth and deed and life) originally for the final Sunday of Advent, which anticipates the coming of Christmas and is the original setting for the celebrated chorale Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.
