On Friday December 9th, 2016, the BACH choir premiered Alexander Frank’s new work “The ransomed of the Lord shall return” (Isaiah 35:10) for chorus, solos, organ and trumpet at the Arlington Community Church.
“The ransomed of the Lord shall return” incorporates the harmonies explored in the O Antiphons to a fully-developed canon in ABA form reminiscent of Bach or Handel. The work marries old and new, with exciting, modern harmony draped over Baroque framework and instrumentation. “The ransomed of the Lord shall return” was also composed specifically with the unique combination of talents in BACH.
You have one more chance to hear this along with other wonderful holiday inspired choral pieces tomorrow!
