La Stravaganza
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, August 7, 2022 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
This week we hear a Bach cantata written for the eighth Sunday after Trinity in the Liturgical year, Cantata BWV 178: "If God the Lord is not on our side." Also on the program: a Handel composition performed at every British monarch's coronation since 1727 and a Vivaldi violin concerto from a set of concerti whose name, "La Stravaganza," lets you know to expect a little eccentricity in the music.
