REbaroque- Motets (CD)
For the first joint recording between Maria Lindal's REbaroque ensemble and the St Jacobs Chamber Choir the ensembles chose to perform all of Bach's motets; a collection of strikingly dance-like, varied and virtuosic works for choir and instrumental ensemble in which instruments and voices share the same parts, the optimal fusion of voice, words, articulation, song, instrument, timbre and color. With every tone, the instrumentalists perform a text- a vowel, a consonant, a poem - while the singers articulate every line of the text in unison with their instrumental partners.
Tracklist:
- Singet Dem Herrn Ein Neues Lied, Bwv 225
- Furchte Dich Nicht, Ich Bin Bei Dir, Bwv 228
- Jesu, Meine Freude, Bwv 227
- Der Geist Hilft Unser Schwachheit Auf, Bwv 226
- O Jesu Christ, Mein Lebens Licht, Bwv 118
- Komm, Jesu, Komm, Bwv 229
- Ich Lasse Dich Nicht, Du Segnest Mich Denn, Bwv Anh. 159
- Lobet Den Herrn, Alle Heiden, Bwv 230: Lobet Den Herrn, Alle Heiden, Bwv 230
