Bristol Bach Choir

This autumn will see a focus on the music of Bach, Brahms, and Bruckner, three very different composers but ones familiar to all music-lovers. Whilst all are known for their large-scale works, their output of choral music is no less masterly, and often seems to encapsulate an entire symphonic world in a short time span. The principal work will be J.S. Bach’s Motet Jesu Meine Freude, which across its 11 sections exploits the full gamut of choral writing. Brahms’ beautiful Op. 29 motets will be joined by his Fest- und Gedenksprüche and the secular Drei Gesange, whilst Bruckner’s beautiful Os Justi and majestic Ecce Sacerdos will provide a thrilling end to the concert.
