In our season closer, we focus once again upon the glorious music of our namesake.  Featuring Live Oak Baroque Orchestra at its grandest scale, the Sonoma Bach Choir, and a wonderful lineup of vocal soloists, we present festive works from several eras of J.S. Bach's career. The 2nd Brandenburg Concerto was written during his time as court composer in Cöthen (1818-1723); the D Major Magnificat is a reworking of a piece written during the first year of his tenure in Leipzig (1723 to his death in 1750); and Cantata 214 (Tönet, ihr Pauken) was written in 1733 to honor the birthday of the Electress of Saxony. Later in 1733, several movements of Cantata 214 found their way into Bach's Christmas Oratorio.

We may conceive and explain Bach's management of the internal mechanism of the art; but how he contrived at the same time to inspire into this mechanic art, which he alone has attained in such high perfection, the living spirit which so powerfully speaks to us even in his smallest works will probably always be only felt and wondered at.
-Johann Nikolaus Forkel (1749-1818)
