Description
Our Winter Fireworks concert features three grand works. Bach’s bold and lively Cantata 171 is a grandiose cantata that opens with a full chorus and vibrant orchestra of oboes and trumpets.
Event Details
It is most well known as the first version of the second chorus in the Credo of the Mass in B minor. The equally impressive Music for the Royal Fireworks is a band suite composed by Handel to celebrate the end of the War of the Austrian Succession and the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. It premiered with fireworks in London’s Green Park for an audience of over 12,000 in 1749. .
