The liturgical year with Johann Sebastian Bach: Rondeau Production and Deutschlandradio Kultur are currently releasing a ten-disc CD series with Thomanerchor Leipzig (St Thomas\u2019s Boys Choir Leipzig). The choir presents selected cantatas for the liturgical year in new, vibrant recordings. The music for the liturgy holds a very special place at St Thomas\u2019s Church Leipzig: even today, the church\u2019s boys choir and the Gewandhausorchester (Gewandhaus Orchestra) perform a cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach every week. The three cantatas recorded on this disc form part of the first cycle of cantatas which Johann Sebastian Bach presented to the congregation of St Thomas Leipzig in 1723. The cantatas Jesus nahm zu sich die Zw\u00f6lfe (BWV 22) and Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn (BWV 23) formed part of Bach\u2019s audition for the post of cantor held by the city councillors of Leipzig on 7 February 1723, Estomihi Sunday. The texts of these two cantatas from Bach\u2019s application portfolio tell of Christ\u2019s decision to enter into Jerusalem, and of the healing of the blind man. Himmelsk\u00f6nig, sei willkommen (BWV 128) is the oldest cantata recorded here. It was written for performance at Weimar on Palm Sunday 1714 and sets to music the Gospel of that day, narrating Christ\u2019s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
