| J.S. Bach | Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227 |
| Dietrich Buxtehude | Herzlich, lieb hab ich dich, o Herr |
| Samuel Barber | Dover Beach |
The Dessoff Chamber Choir and Chamber Ensemble perform Bach’s Jesu, meine Freude. The five voice motet expands upon the original hymn tune of the same name by Johann Crüger. This is the second of Bach’s six motets that Dessoff will perform over the next 3 seasons. Buxtehude’s Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr is the finest example of the composer’s mature cantata compositions. To round out the program, Maestro Merriweather steps off the podium to sing Barber’s Dover Beach for baritone and string quartet.
