Scottish Chamber Orchestra Bach's Christmas Oratorio Nov 28th

## Details

BACH
Christmas Oratorio (Cantatas Nos 1-3)

• Sung in German

Celebrate the coming festivities with one of music’s most uplifting seasonal creations. Originally conceived for Leipzig’s Christmas celebrations in 1734, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio retains all its joy and colour nearly three centuries later, in vivid musical depictions of the Nativity and the Shepherds’ adoration. The Oratorio’s resplendent choruses and intimate solo arias continue to inspire and delight today, whatever your personal beliefs.

This is some of the most joyful music I have heard. The perfect run up to the festivities.
Here is a YouTube video of it
