Listen NowBringing CMU choruses ‘Bach’ together this festive season
Tuesday, December 6, 2022 @ 8:48 AM
The Canadian Mennonite University Festival Chorus presents J.S. Bach's magnificent Christmas Oratorio, Weihnachtsoratorium, BWV 248 — a musical telling of the nativity story and the major feast days celebrated as part of the 12 days of Christmas.
"This oratorio is, in fact, six cantatas in one," says Dr. Janet Brenneman, Associate Professor of Music and conductor of the performance. "You get the whole Christmas story."
Assembled in 1734, Bach's Nativity-to-Epiphany cycle draws on pre-existing sources — including three secular cantatas — and was composed as part of his duties for two Leipzig churches, St. Thomas and St. Nicholas.
"Performing Bach is a breath of fresh air," says tenor soloist and CMU alumnus Nolan Kehler. A versatile and varied singer, the music also marks a return to his roots in more ways than one.
