Organ Recital: The Incomparable Herr Buxtehude
POSTPONED: Wednesday, June 8th at 8PM
Bachgrounder 35 minutes before concert
Dianna Morgan, soprano · Christopher Fritzsche, alto · Anne Laver, organ · Sonoma Bach Choir
We rejoice to welcome Anne Laver back for her fourth organ recital on the Brombaugh pipe organ in Schroeder Hall, featuring the music of Dieterich Buxtehude (1637-1707), one of the young Bach’s idols. Annie will perform a prelude, a passacaglia, exquisite chorale settings (with melodies introduced by the Sonoma Bach Choir), a thrilling modern chorale partita by Lionel Rogg (b1936), and, with soprano Dianna Morgan and countertenor Christopher Fritzsche, selected vocal solos and duets. The trio will also perform the world premiere of Sonoma Bach’s first major commissioned work, a setting of the German chorale of ‘Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ', by Syracuse University composer Natalie Draper.
