In place of live concerts this season, we are offering a series of on line broadcasts of some of our favorite performances in recent years, with introductory background and commentary from our Music Director.
For Easter weekend, we bring you one of the highlights of J.S. Bach’s Mass in B minor: the sparkling opening of the Gloria section. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Gloria - Et in terra pax, from Mass in B minor (BWV 232)
With introduction from the music director
Recorded live at Grace Church in New York
