As part of the Montreal Bach Festival 2017:
Arion Baroque Orchestra presents

Rejoicing!

Arion invites you to rejoice with this program created for the Montreal Bach Festival: first with Bach himself in the explosive Gloria of his short Mass in A major and the ascending twirls of his contrapuntal motet Praise the Lord, all the heathens!; next with Telemann, all through his delectable Suite in E minor from his Tafelmusik, of which the most exhilarating piece is justly titled… Réjouissance.
