Organ Recital: Bach and the Cross
Thursday, March 27, 2025 | 7pm
Music of the Baroque (1600-1750) is known for its use of rhetorical musical figures, figures used to express the mood (affekt) or text of a piece. These are used to bring the listener into deeper understanding and conversation with the music. This recital program will explore the musical figure of the cross with the various moods and styles of organ music by J. S. Bach. Program repertoire includes the Lenten chorales of the Orgelbüchlein and Various Chorale-Preludes, the Fantasia and Fugue in G minor and more. This recital is offered in commemoration of the 340th birthday and 275th death anniversary of the composer.The concert is presented by Director of Music Ministries, Dillon J. Swanson.
