Bach - Cantata Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland BWV 61 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society
’Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland’, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, is filled with special effects, which is probably due to the young age at which Bach composed the work. In the daring opening section, Bach combines the ancient Advent melody ’Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland’ with a French royal overture that would have sounded at home in Louis XIV’s palace of Versailles. Such an overture was played as the king entered, which is very fitting for the reading on the first Sunday of Advent, when Jesus enters Jerusalem as a king riding on a donkey.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on November 30th 2013 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel or consider donating
