SUMMARY:Vocal Polyphony: Bach’s Polyphonic Heritage
DESCRIPTION:What vocal traditions did Bach absorb from his ancestors\, pred
 ecessors\, and models? This year’s Vocal Polyphony program—devised by 
 Bach scholar Dr. Daniel R. Melamed—offers a rewarding perspective into t
 he music that shaped Bach’s creative environment. Featuring motets and l
 iturgical works for four to eight voices from the sixteenth and seventeent
 h centuries\, this program surveys the vocal traditions Bach inherited fro
 m the musical past. These works reveal a lineage of expressive craftsmansh
 ip and devotional fervor that would resonate variously throughout Bach’s
  own writing.\nA group of eight singers from the Washington Bach Consort\,
  joined by organ and violone\, bring this broad-ranging repertoire to life
 . Music by Palestrina\, Gallus\, Andrea Gabrieli\, Bernhard\, Schütz\, Wa
 lter\, Knüpfer\, Johann Christoph Bach\, and Johann Ludwig Bach showcases
  the breadth and refinement of the polyphonic heritage Bach himself receiv
