Bach, Handel and Delalande
A program of great masterworks, with Bach’s uplifting 1st
Orchestral Suite, leading into Handel’s wonderful Ode for the
birthday of Queen Anne of England. From 1713, it is subtitled
‘Ode for the Peace’ in reference to the Treaty of Utrecht.
Michel Richard Delalande, a French Baroque composer and
organist in the service of King Louis XIV is known best for his
masterful grand motets and Super Flumina Babylonis is one of
the most sublime (with one of our choristers being a direct
descendent of the composer!).
