Description:
Sing to the Lord a New Song is the most brilliant and virtuosic of Bach's motets. Written for double choir, it overflows with jubilant joy: the two ensembles respond to one another, pursue and unite in a wealth of polyphony brimming with irresistible energy, carried by the psalm text that calls for the praise of the Lord. The work unfolds with magnificent architectural structure: the exuberance of the outer sections, in which the voices intertwine in rapid figures and sparkling echoes, is counterbalanced by the more introspective serenity of a central chorale, contemplative and inward-looking. Bach’s inimitable contrapuntal mastery and rhythmic verve prevail throughout. Transposed for a brass ensemble, this music takes on a new brilliance: The radiance and power of the timbres capture the energy of the double choir, while the richness of the lower voices lends the contrapuntal lines an impressive depth. A work full of jubilation and bravura, whose fervor and virtuosity make it a true celebration.
