This winning local team celebrates a glorious selection of English and German Baroque vocal music to mark Remembrance Sunday. Popularly known as Sleepers Wake, Bach's wonderful Wachet auf! for soloists, chorus and orchestra is among his best loved cantatas. Equally exquisite is his motet O Jesu Christ, mein's Lebens Licht, a serene chorus with sumptuous instrumental accompaniment. The inspired final 4 part chorale in Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen expresses joy in redemption and this gorgeous programme concludes with Handel's Chandos Anthem O Praise the Lord. An evening to lift the soul.
