Oxford Bach Choir: Mozart Requiem & JS Bach Trauer-Ode
London Mozart Players, conducted by Benjamin Nicholas
Add to my Calendar 10-03-2019 17:00 10-03-2019 19:00 36 Oxford Bach Choir: Mozart Requiem & JS Bach Trauer-Ode The Oxford Bach Choir sings two much-loved classics by Mozart: his gentle motet Ave Verum Corpus, and his great Requiem, his last work, left unfinished on his death. The programme also includes JS Bach’s Trauer-Ode, a magnificent and heartfelt elegy written on the death of a Saxon queen. The Trauer-Ode holds a special secret: Bach re-used much of its music, including its imposing and moving opening and closing choruses, for his St Mark Passion which is now lost. We therefore look forward to giving our audience tantalising glimpses of a major lost work by Bach! Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford DD/MM/YYYYDetails
