Bob Worth explores the world of the incredibly enthusiastic and prolific Michael Praetorius.
Following a trail of bread crumbs starting with the Sonoma Bach Choir's November Praetorius concerts,
we'll dig into his works, from lively duets on Lutheran chorales to enormous multi-choir pieces such as 'Wachet auf' from the 'Polyhymnia Caduceatrix et Panegyrica' (1619). We'll also explore some of his voluminous writings in an effort to get to know this ever-curious, ever-scholarly-yet-ever-practical musical personality.
