Music played during this season included J S Bach’s “Great Eighteen” Chorale Preludes. These are pieces written in Leipzig, when Bach was Kantor at St Thomas’s Church, and represent the pinnacle of his sacred music for solo organ. The elaborate works are all based on different German hymn tunes, and Bach treats the melody in ingenious ways to create sumptuous mini masterpieces.
