April Noontime Cantata at The Church of the EpiphanyJ.S. Bach:
Barmherziges Herze der ewigen Liebe, BWV 185
Prelude & Fugue in G Major, BWV 541: Julie Vidrick Evans, organist
Written for the fourth Sunday after Trinity and again employing a text by Franck, this little gem treats the melody "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ" in the outer movements, first as an obligato line played by the oboe in the soprano/tenor duet and finally by the first violin weaving a beautiful descant above the four-part chorale.
