Bach Motets

Paragon Singers are excited to present Bach’s motets in the stunning ambience of St Swithin’s.

‘Lobet den Herrn’, ‘Komm, Jesu komm’, ‘Singet dem Herrn’ and ‘Jesu, meine Freude’ come from Bach’s productive time as Music Director at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig during the 1720s and 1730s. The double choir format allowed him to compose his most complex, brilliantly inventive and emotionally satisfying pieces.  The full range of Bach’s genius is here: fugue, counterpoint, canon, glorious melismatic word-painting and majestic chorales
