Dunedin Consort: An Early German Christmas
A nostalgic, underground choral night.
John Butt and the Dunedin Consort offer a rich taste of works written to celebrate Christ’s birth, embracing sonorous rarities by Rosenmüller, Geist and Theile, the latter graced by a delightful lullaby, and a rousing instrumental Intrada by Samuel Scheidt. They close with JS Bach’s majestic cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV61, composed in 1714 for the first Sunday in Advent. Music played a crucial role in the Protestant Reformation, promoting congregational hymn singing and enhancing the rituals of worship with rousing festive melodies.
