Concert 6 March 2020   Bach B minor Mass Armonico Consort, directed by Christopher Monks. St David’s Hall, Cardiff.

Segments from Bach’s monumental Mass in B Minor. These three pieces: Et incarnatus est, Crucifixus, and Et resurrexit come from the Nicene creed. They speak of Jesus’ incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. Bach used some plaintive Renaissance-style themes inside Et incarnatus est, but advancing it with his own understanding of dissonant harmony. The ensemble makes for a dramatic retelling of Christian doctrine. It’s an astounding work.
