The Bach Experience Lecture
Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ, BWV 91: Cantata for Christmas Day
The Bach Experience at Marsh Chapel brings to life the profound musical and theological world of Johann Sebastian Bach. This series delves into Bach’s sacred cantatas—works that illuminate the week’s liturgy through deep musical expression.
Dr. Scott Allen Jarrett, the Chapel Choir, soloists, and Collegium orchestra present a cantata in both lecture and performance. This Bach Experience lecture explores the cantata’s musical and theological significance. The full cantata is then presented in its intended liturgical setting as part of the Sunday morning service.
Join us for this unique and immersive journey into Bach’s music—where history, faith, and artistry come together.
