SUMMARY:Chorale Architecture: From Expectation to Fulfillment
DESCRIPTION:Our season opens with four cantatas that display Bach’s artfu
 l inventiveness with the chorale melody\, evinced in the carefully wrought
  musical architecture he builds within and around each. Together they lead
  us on a musical odyssey—from anticipation to plea\, vigilance to fulfil
 led joy. Nun komm\, der Heiden Heiland\, BWV 61\, begins with a regal 
 Advent invocation\, shaped by an introductory French‑overture movement. 
 At the program’s center stands the rarely heard Nimm von uns\, Herr\, 
 BWV 101\, a strict chorale‑cantata whose unusually sharp dissonances m
 ake Bach’s “Vater unser” plea strikingly intense. Wachet auf\, BWV
  140\, offers both animated and serene readiness in its similar chorale-
 based approach. Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben\, BWV 147\, concludes 
 the program with joyful assurance\, framing each part with the same choral
 e melody now cherished as “Jesu\, Joy of Man’s Desiring.”\nElijah Mc
 Cormack\, sopranoKristen Dubenion-Smith\, altoAndrew Bearden Brown\, tenor
 Paul Max Tipton\, bass\n\n\nJoin us for Talking Bach at 3 p.m. This series
  of free pre-concert lectures by noted Bach scholar Michael Marissen is pr
 esented one hour before Director’s Series performances.\n\nWilliam B. Mu
