Telemann, Bach & The Gospel Tradition Bach Collegium San Diego (BCSD), one of the country’s leading baroque ensembles, is bringing together of two venerable traditions–on the one hand, two extraordinary works from the German Lutheran tradition which meditate on the release of death and the joys that await, and on the other hand, music of comfort from the Gospel tradition and where and how these two worlds intersect. Rooted in the deep traditions of gospel music, Black funerals transform grief into joy, mourning into praise. Death is seen not just as the end of suffering, hardship, or injustice, but as a victory, a return to a promise fulfilled. Both cantatas are likely to have been written for funerals around 1707-8, though the specific identity of the deceased is unknown. A unique “quiet” instrumentation is featured in both cantatas which highlights violas da gamba, recorders, and omits the customary instruments of the violin family. This instrumentation was often linked to funeral cantatas. G.P. Telemann Du aber Daniel gehe hin TVWV 4:17 J.S. Bach Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit ‘Actus Tragicus’ BWV 106 Including music from the Gospel tradition rooted in a triumphant send-off celebrating the end of earthly struggles.

Class Description Artificial intelligence programs have been described in many ways, but perhaps the best way to understand how we can benefit as writers from the use of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and others is to think of them as our sidekicks. Eager and helpful assistants that can do things faster and better than us as long as we give them the right instructions. This course is about which AI programs are the best for which tasks, what is possible with AI, and how to use it without crossing any ethical lines. You’ll learn how to benefit from AI when it comes to research and writing and how to design and produce amazing covers, websites, and marketing materials. AI can do things for a fraction of the cost and in the blink of an eye, including creating audio books, apps, and other complimentary (and lucrative) ancillary items. As promising as this sounds, we’ll also look at the ways in which we can lose authenticity and credibility if we take it too far. This is a hands-on, interactive, and solution-oriented program presented as a discussion and brainstorming session so we learn how to make the most of these powerful new tools to take our ideas, bring them to life, and get them out to the masses. Come with your questions and suggestions, and leave with a whole new way of working that opens up possibilities that weren’t available just a couple of years ago.
