This festive and colourful cantata for orchestra, chorus, and soloists was written for first performance on Ascension Day in May 2025. Three hundred years later, it is the centre-piece of a celebratory concert exploring Bach’s compositions from this post-Easter period in 1725, together with a pair of new works composed in response to Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein.
World-leading Bach scholar and performer John Butt directs the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Choir of New College Oxford, whose director Robert Quinney has used his extensive knowledge of the manuscript to prepare the choir for this performance.
The manuscript, a tangible link to the past, will be on display in the Weston Library, Bodleian Libraries.
