This large-scale
Bach
composition, written exactly 280 years ago, is more accurately a series of six cantatas, leading us from the birth of
Jesus
, through the adoration of the shepherds, to the visit of the Magi (for Epiphany). The
biblical
story is projected before us through Bach's melodies and harmonies, interpreted by musicians and soloists who will surely make us feel a true part of the celebration.
