Bach's Christmas Oratorio: Festive sounds during Advent!

On the third Sunday in Advent, December 15th at 6 p.m., the legendary "Christmas Oratorio" by Johann Sebastian Bach is performed in the College of Landau. Under the direction of abbey cantor Anna Linß, the cantatas I to III of the masterpiece are presented, an event that makes musical hearts beat faster. This performance is part of a tradition that Bach focuses on as one of the most important composers in western music history, as the Rhein Palatinate reported.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is considered an outstanding church composer, whose religious works are still considered one of the deepest interpretations of sacred texts and theology. His "Christmas Oratorio" is a striking work that offers the most complete presentation of the Christmas story and is deeply rooted in the Christian tradition.
