The Advent of Christmas

J.S. Bach | Advent Cantata (Wachet auf)

J.S. Bach | Brandenburg Concerto no 4

M.A. Charpentier | Messe de Minuit pour Noël

Armonico Consort & Orchestra

Director | Christopher Monks

The majesty of Bach and the exuberance of Charpentier create the perfect way to begin the festive celebrations.

Wachet Auf, the Advent Cantata, brings Bach’s most famous melody which has inspired composers, artists and even Lloyds Bank! Bach’s genius for melody and counterpoint found in the Cantata is paired with the delightful quirks of structure and instrumentation of his virtuosic Brandenburg Concerto no 4, written for violin, two ‘Flauti d’echo’, strings and continuo.

Charpentier captured all that was joyous about the French Baroque in his music. Messe de Minuit, written to celebrate Midnight Mass, contains his most effervescent choral writing; it is witty, engaging and melodious, and it is guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of any listener.
