Joy Renewed

Composer Dale Trumbore says her mission is to create music that “moves listeners to a better emotional place.” Experience that vision in the premiere of her new work commissioned by BACH and based on J.S. Bach’s Jesu, meine Freude (“Jesus, my joy”) — a beloved motet from BACH’s first concert that returns here, with strings and harpsichord. Trumbore’s writing has drawn praise from The Washington Post and The New York Times, calling it devastatingly beautiful, with soaring melodies and beguiling harmonies. The program includes Johann Michael Bach’s lush double-choir Halt, was du hast, which also echoes Jesu, meine Freude, and additional chamber works.
