Far Beyond the Skies: Bach, Telemann & the Gospel Tradition

The bringing together of two venerable traditions–on the one hand, two extraordinary works from the German Lutheran tradition which meditate on the release of death and the joys that await, and on the other hand, music of comfort from the Gospel tradition and where and how these two worlds intersect. BCSD is joined by Ken Anderson and the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Choir.

G.P. Telemann
Du aber Daniel gehe hin TVWV 4:17

J.S. Bach
Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit ‘Actus Tragicus’ BWV 106

Including music from the Gospel tradition rooted in a triumphant send-off celebrating the end of earthly struggles with the Martin Luther King Community Choir.
