Christmas Chorales for flute ensemble

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach shapes the daily life in Gudrun’s home town of Leipzig like that of no other composer. His cantatas, oratories, and chorales are still performed every week in St. Thomas church.

These two Advent chorales describe the Redeemer’s virgin birth and the bodily incarnation of God in the Christmas story. They are quite appropriate in a worship setting as well as in a festive season’s program.

Listen

I Come From Heavens High to You
Performed by an automated synthesizer

Now Come, Redeemer of the World
Performed by the Quintessenz ensemble.
