[NEohioPAL] Bach Cantata #131 Aus der Tiefe (Out of the Deep) to be performed April 21 at Church of the Saviour

[Judith Higbee via NEohioPAL]

*CHURCH OF THE SAVIOUR **PRESENTS** Bach Cantata #131 Aus der Tiefe (Out of
the Deep)*

*Sunday, April 24, at 2:30 p.m. *Church of the Saviour presents Bach’s *Cantata
# 131 Aus der Tiefe (Out of the Deep)* performed in German by our Chancel
Choir, organ and professional chamber orchestra under the direction of
Judith Higbee with organist Robert Day. Vocal soloists are Jonathan Short,
tenor and Stephen diLauro, bass.

*Cantata #131* is one of Bach's oldest surviving cantatas, probably
composed in 1707 when Bach was only 22 years old.  It was commissioned by a
friend of Bach’s who was the pastor of St. Mary's Church in Mühlhausen most
likely to bring hope to the town which had just suffered a catastrophic
fire that destroyed more than 300 houses.



Seven other music ensembles at Church of the Saviour will also participate
in this *free hour-long celebration of praise*.  A special piece entitled *As
the Wind Song* involving 5 octaves of handbells, full choir, flute solo and
percussion will be presented. The Agape Choir (youth) presents a
Caribbean-flavored piece called *Fill-A Me Up!* and GOOD NEWS shares André
Thomas’ lively arrangement of the spiritual *Until I Found the Lord.* The
Flute Ensemble directed by Virginia Steiger will play *Dance of the Blessed
Spirits* and the Bells of the Saviour also directed by Mrs. Steiger will
play *Sanna, Sannanina (Holy, Most Holy Lord).* Emma Bartz leads the Carol
Choir and the Gospel Choir directed by Brian Smart will bring down the
house!



A free-will offering will be accepted.



Church of the Saviour is handicapped-accessible and has free parking. It is
located at 2537 Lee Road in Cleveland Heights, one block north of Fairmount
Blvd.
