Advent Season Begins
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, November 29, 2020 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Heinrich Schütz was one of the foremost German composers in the generation before Bach. He spent a significant portion of his career working for the Elector of Saxony in Dresden and left a great deal of music written for the Lutheran church and religious ceremonies including his Christmas Story, a dramatic musical portrayal of the Nativity. In 2019, the Yale Schola Cantorum released an album containing the Christmas Story and other works. We'll hear some of it this week which begins the Advent season.
