2024, the 300th anniversary of Bach's chorale cantatas!

Merry Christmas!

On the second Day of Christmas 1724
J. S. Bach led the first performance
of his chorale cantata
Christum wir sollen loben schon, BWV 121,
based on a hymn written by Luther
in 1524 as a paraphrase of
"A solis ortus cardine".

Let's be thankful for 2023, a year of resiliance.
We shared knowledge, and continue.
We talked, and continue.
We remembered great people, and continue.
We enjoyed places, songs and food with friends, and continue!
