Netherlands Bach Society | Bach - Kyrie, Christe, Kyrie BWV 672-674 - Smits | Netherlands Bach Society @bach | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 6 hours ago
The music in Bach’s third Clavier-Übung illustrates in sound the two most important Sunday services in Leipzig: the Mass based on the abridged Lutheran liturgy with Kyrie and Gloria, and the service in which the Catechism is preached. The collection was undoubtedly as much an act of faith by a devout composer as it was a practical collection of pieces for extremely talented colleagues. The number three recurs throughout the collection, as in this trio of 'Kyrie, Christe, Kyrie', performed here by Reitze Smits for All of Bach.
