Evening Music
Donald focuses on the unique musical events Buxtehude staged, such as at St Mary's in Lubeck, where he organised some of the earliest public concerts ever held in a church.
Dieterich Buxtehude was much more than just a church organist; he composed cantatas, oratorios, chamber music and, at St Mary's in L眉beck, he organised some of the earliest public concerts ever held in a church. Music of the pieces of music featured in these Abendmusiken ? 'evening musics' ? have been lost, but in today's programme Donald Macleod presents an extract from what might be Buxtehude's only surviving abendmusik oratorio.
