Praetorius
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, July 22, 2018 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Myelita Melton
Since he was 19 years old, conductor Pablo Heras-Casado has been fascinated with the Protestant music from the period before Bach. For 23 years he's been studying and performing the music that bridges the late Renaissance and early Baroque. His explorations have led him to three composers with the family name Praetorius (Michael, Hieronymus and Jacob) who were active in northern Germany in the early 17th century. Hieronymus and Jacob were father and son organists in Hamburg, and Michael was the Praetorius we best know today. He gave us "Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming." In 2015 Heras-Casado released an album of music by these three that is beautifully performed by the Balthasar-Neumann Choir and Ensemble. We'll hear from each Praetorius on the album during this week's show.
Also, Principal Guest Conductor of the Brevard Music Center, JoAnn Falletta, speaks to Rachel Stewart about her favorite Sunday morning rituals.
