Orchestral Series 1: Bach and Handel by the waters of Babylo
About
A program of great masterworks, we open with Bach’s uplifting 1st Orchestral Suite, leading into Handel’s wonderful Ode for the birthday of Queen Anne of England. From 1713, it is subtitled ‘Ode for the Peace’ in reference to the Treaty of Utrecht which the monarch was about to sign, marking the end of the War of the Spanish Succession.Michel Richard Delalande, a French Baroque composer and organist in the service of King Louis XIV is known best for his masterful grand motets and Super Flumina Babylonis is one of the most sublime (with one of our choristers being a direct descendent of the composer!).
