From Bach Collegium San Diego: Our final Bach at Noon concert this season explores the baroque roots of the music of the "Father of the string quartet and symphony", Franz Josef Haydn (1732-1809), mainly via works of composers he knew and admired. Gregor Werner (1693-1766) was Haydn's senior colleague at the musical establishment of the Esterhazy court, and despite significant conflict between the two men, late in life Haydn memorialized Werner with a string quartet version of Six Introductions and Fugues taken from Werner's oratorios. The centerpiece of this program is the suave and elegant Salve regina in F major of Nicola Porpora (1686-1768), who hired Haydn, then a struggling 20-something in Vienna, as a valet and accompanist. From Porpora, Haydn confided in his first biographer, he learned "the true fundamentals of composition". Social media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion was written for the Good Friday Vespers service of 1727 at the St Thomas' Church, Leipzig, and brings together relevant themes of betrayal, judgement, death, and love as expressed through St. Matthew's Gospel and Bach's librettist Picander. Bach’s vivid musical account of Christ's passion combines a striking drama and devotion forming a pinnacle of the vocal works composed for the Leipzig churches. Stay Connected on Social Media!
