Fifty-Two Cantatas

Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, September 12, 2021 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart

One of J.S. Bach's primary duties as Cantor of St. Thomas Church in Leipzig was to provide music for Sundays and church feasts. He produced a cantata for nearly every week of the year. This week we'll hear selections from several of them, including Cantata BWV 140 "Wachet Auf" and Cantata BWV 138 "Why are you troubled, my heart?" In addition to works by Bach, we have music by lesser known composers from Mexico, The Netherlands, Britain this week.
