Bach Chamber Ensemble     

The combination of sublime music and biblical text of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion was the inspiration to adapt this sacred oratorio to a shorter, more audience-friendly work for trombone, strings,keyboard and narrator. In his original creation, Bach interprets God’s inerrant Word through his gift of music. It is Bach’s good news in response to God’s good news. In The Gospel According to Bach the composer’s intent, to glorify God through his music, is not altered; only the instrumentation has been changed. The original poetry, portions of scripture chorales, arias and recitatives remain the same.
