Bach: New Year's Cantata "Sing a New Song to the Lord" | Philippe Herreweghe, Collegium Vocale Gent
Johann Sebastian Bach composed his first New Year's cantata (BWV 190.1) "Sing a new song to the lord" (Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied) as a festive cantata for January 1, 1724. He composed it in his first year as Thomaskantor (choirmaster at St Thomas Church) in Leipzig, a position he held from 1723 until his death in 1750.
Much of the cantata is a hymn of praise to God. The New Year is welcomed with an expression of thanks for the past year and a request for blessings for the year to come.
This recording was performed by the choir and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale Gent under the direction of its founder Philippe Herreweghe on June 10, 2023, in the St. Thomas Church (Thomaskirche) in Leipzig.
