welcome

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the opening concert of Emmanuel Music’s 45th sea- son! In our three major concerts we return to our beginnings and our core – the music of J.S. Bach. But we are bringing new per- spectives that promise to offer discoveries and revelations to all, whether you have been steeped in Bach’s music for years or are just now discovering its richness.

Emmanuel Music began 45 years ago this December with the mission of performing Bach for Emmanuel Church’s Sunday services. Our weekly collaborative explo- rations of Bach’s music make us uniquely positioned to explore Bach in new ways that are both deeply understood and deeply felt.

Bach is the father of , and he created or foreshadowed virtually every development that followed. And so tonight we explore rearrangements – Bach’s own and those of others -- that let us hear some of his compositions newly and freshly. What happens when Bach reimagines a concerto for three harpsichords as a concerto for three violins? Or when Stravinsky puts his own stamp on selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier? Or when Ward Swingle rearranges selected Bach pieces for an a capella octet, with one voice to a part? Our ears open to the richness of his composi- tions and the range of voices and variations. We marvel that there is always more to discover.

Two more major concerts will explore unusual aspects of Bach. On March 19 we per- form a reconstruction of Bach’s lostSt. Mark Passion, and on April 9 we collaborate with Urbanity Dance, Betsi Graves, Director, to bring to life J. S. Bach’s The Contest between Phoebus and Pan and Kurt Weill’s The Seven Deadly Sins. The performance space will be in and among the audience, for unparalleled immediacy and impact. And let’s not forget the chamber series, where we bring you masterpieces by Felix Mendelssohn as well as Wolf’s greatest song cycle, The Italian Songbook. This season’s chamber series will truly stand out as among the best of those we’ve presented over many decades.

Whether you are discovering Emmanuel Music or returning for the latest of many sea- sons, we welcome you to savor the music with us. There will be many moments of unsurpassed beauty.

All the Best,

However, The Well-Tempered Clavier, his ventions are audible, however, Bach transforms them through elaborate ornamentation encyclopedic two-volume keyboard collection, never went unplayed. Within thirty years and by pushing traditional French dances past formal bounds, such as the strict canon of Bach’s death, Mozart was busy studying The Well-Tempered Clavier and Beethoven was at the fifth between the flute/first violins and bass in the Sarabande, the ornate flute learning to play the piano by practicing its twenty-four preludes and fugues. The entire figurations in the Polonaise and the flute fireworks of the extremely rare and virtuosic generation of born around 1810—Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and Liszt, Badinerie. etc.—thought of Bach as essential to the foundation of music itself, and they considered The Well-Tempered Clavier as the bedrock of their keyboard technique.

A great deal of Bach’s music survives, but, incredibly, there’s much more swers. We are not sure when they were composed and for whom, and, in many cases, that didn’t. It is speculated that over two hundred compositions from the Weimar years are even what instrument they originally were written for, since most are of lost, and that just 15 to 20 percent of Bach’s output from his subsequent time in Cöthen has earlier works. Of the fourteen surviving concertos for one, two, three, or four keyboards survived. Two-fifths of the cantatas he wrote in Leipzig have never been found.
