Bach Ensemble Lucerne: Sanctus and Agnus Dei from Bach's Mass in B minor

Bach's Mass in B minor will accompany the Bach Ensemble Lucerne throughout the year. The third concert features "Sanctus " and "Agnus Dei", the last two movements of this grandiose mass. Sanctus is the oldest part of the Mass in B minor. This music was performed at a Christmas concert in 1724. In the Agnus Dei, Bach drew on music from his Ascension Oratorio BWV 11 and places this expressive music in a larger context.

The concert opens with the "Ratswahlkantate" BWV 29 "Wir danken dir" from 1731. In the second movement, Bach uses the music of the "Gratias agimus" from the Mass in B minor. - We encounter the music again with Latin text in the "Dona nobis pacem" from the Mass in B minor.
