Heinrich Schütz, Selections from Geistliche Chormusik
J.S. Bach Komm, Jesu, komm | Singet dem Herrn
Johannes Brahms Warum ist das Licht gegeben
Felix Mendelssohn Richte mich, Gott

Conducted by James Weeks and Louis Allen

An evening of German choral masterpieces spanning more than two centuries. From the intimacy and clarity of Heinrich Schütz to the architectural brilliance of J.S. Bach, the programme explores music shaped by faith, mortality and a search for consolation. Johannes Brahms’ profound Warum ist das Licht gegeben forms the emotional heart of the concert, before Felix Mendelssohn and Bach turn reflection towards assurance and radiant praise. Bringing together some of the richest music in the German sacred tradition, Light of the Soul traces a journey from darkness and questioning towards peace, conviction and an exultant final release.
