Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, July 18, 2021 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
From the opening chorus of Bach's Cantata BWV 140, "Sleepers Awake", to a Magnificat written by Vivaldi for the girls of the orphanage where he was music director to music for flute by the original flute meister, Johann Joachim Quantz, we hear from many of the Baroque era's most notable composers this week.
We also enjoy our weekly Bach cantata written for the appropriate day in the liturgical calendar, and we hear performances by some of the finest ensembles specializing in early music such as Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and The Concert of Nations.
