I will always have fond memories of the Winchester Cathedral as I saw evensong there during the summer of 2007. This was without a doubt a musical memory I will always cherish.
Factoids:
- A chorale taken from Bach's Cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben
- A cantata is a multi-movement work featuring arias, duets, choruses, and sinfonias.
- Typically these works were sacred, performed in church as a reflection on the gospel.
- Bach composed hundreds of cantatas, including numerous complete church cycles.
- It's funny to think how far church music has strayed since the days of Bach!
Enjoy!
