The Christmas Oratorio is a collection of six cantatas (from which Armonico Consort will perform Parts 1,3,5 & 6), each telling a different element of the Christmas story, from the birth of Jesus to the arrival of the Wise Men. Bach combines some of his most virtuosic trumpet writing with flamboyant orchestral composition and intensely beautiful melody.
