Organist Anne Laver returns again to follow up her triumphant, sold-out 2019 recital. The Sonoma Bach Choir will join Annie in exploring the music of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562–1621), called “The Orpheus of Amsterdam” by a contemporary critic. Sweelinck spent his entire career in Amsterdam, as organist at the city’s Oude Kerk, where he played daily municipal concerts. Featured works will be the spectacular Fantasia Chromatica, Psalm 23, and several variation sets, including Ons is geboren ein kindekijn and Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern (attributed to Sweelinck’s son). The Bach Choir will provide themes and arrangements of the tunes, as well as selections from the brilliant motet collection Cantiones sacrae.
