Oregon Bach Festival - Discovery: Music of the Dresden Court

The legendary John **** returns to OBF with a spin on the iconic Festival Discovery Series. The Bach historian and recording artist breaks down and examines works heard in the Dresden court during the first half of the 18th century, including pieces from Johann Georg Pisendel, Czech composer Jan Dismas Zelenka, and the prolific Georg Philipp Telemann. The evening also features Bach’s BWV 191 - the only church cantata Bach wrote in Latin.   

Pisendel: Sonata for Orchestra in C Minor, J.III.2b  
Zelenka: Miserere in C Minor, ZWV 57  
Telemann:  Conclusion in E Minor, TWV 50:5 from Tafelmusik
J.S. Bach: Cantata: Gloria in excelsis Deo, BWV 191
