From the Studio: Yvette Kraft Plays the J. S. Bach "Chaconne"
J. S. Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 4
My friend, and fellow violinist, Lindsey and I discuss music by the one and only Johann Sebastian Bach. Who knew music from the 1700s could sound so metal?
Paired with the Bijou because I wanted to talk about Chartreuse when Bach finally made an appearance on the podcast. 1.5 oz gin, .75 oz sweet vermouth, .75 oz green Chartreuse, two dashes orange bitters. Stir, pour into a chilled martini glass, garnish with an orange peel.
With special guest Lindsey Bordner
Magnificat in D major, J. S. Bach
On Sunday, December 8, 2019 the Unity Temple Choir, soloists and the Bach Baroque Chamber Orchestra presented the Bach Magnificat in D major. This, one of J.S Bach's most performed works, features five soloists and a five part chorus, beginning and ending with exciting and challenging choral movements.
Bach, a master in setting Biblical texts, has crafted a work that shows wonderful attention to the meaning of Mary's Song of Praise (Luke I: 46-55), amplified by the various moods, textures and orchestral colors that engage the listener as Mary exults in being blessed to be the Mother of the Messiah.
In order to maintain the format of the worship service, three musical movements are not included in this performance.
The theme for December is what it means to be a people of awe. To read about our theme-based ministry, please visit http://www.unitytemple.org/faith.
Magna Sequentia II. A quick step through J. S. Bach’s keyboard dances.
If playlists had been available in the 18th century, Magna Sequentia IIwould undoubtedly have enjoyed an enthusiastic reception, with its varied track list embodying a theme of music by association. In her second of three Magna Sequentias, pianist Sonia Rubinsky leads with J. S. Bach’s Overture in the French Style and follows by building around it a grand suite of Bach’s dances for keyboard. The programme of 17 movements illustrates the different styles and expressive moods of Bach’s dance writing. Taken together, the collection is an international potpourri that blends the ornate and sophisticated French style, the more straightforward and virtuosic Italian style, and the stricter contrapuntal writing of the German style, with a touch of England thrown in for good measure. Raymond Bisha presents the introduction to this release.

To God alone be glory: J. S. Bach's St Matthew Passion Part 4 - Andrew Carwood (2018)
Part 4: “In my beginning is my end”
Aus Liebe (Harnoncourt edited out at 00.02.35.793 (with Christine Schäfer)
Excerpt 9 – Final (Koopman edited out at 00.16.14.899)
J.S. Bach is our greatest musical theologian. He wrote brilliant, innovative music, loved and performed as much today as ever, and also had a unique capacity to illuminate great spiritual and theological truths. His setting of St Matthew’s account of the Passion is not only an absolutely faithful telling of the whole narrative from Jesus’ anointing at the house of Simon the leper to the moment he is laid in the tomb, but also an extraordinary and expansive musical meditation on its meaning.
Andrew Carwood is the Director of Music at St Paul’s Cathedral, an internationally regarded singer and conductor, and the Founder-Director of the award-winning early music ensemble The Cardinall’s Musick.
