Join us for a musical Christmas celebration as we present an unmissable trio of festive works! With its exuberant choruses, colourful orchestration and beautiful solo writing, Bach’s Magnificat captures perfectly the divine joy of a pregnant Mary. Unser Mund sei voll Lachens, which was first performed on Christmas Day in 1725, features the stunning Overture from Bach’s Orchestral Suite BWV 1069 while the Gloria in excelsis Deo is adapted from three movements of the Gloria from B minor Mass. All use Bach’s festival orchestra comprising trumpets, timpani, flutes, oboes, strings and continuo alongside soloists and chorus.
