“German Depth: Telemann, Buxtehude & More” - PACIFIC BAROQUE FESTIVAL 2021

Event Description

The music of 17th century Germany was still highly influenced by the Protestant Reformation. Led by a new approach to writing for the church, composers explored the depths of their own beliefs through music. Drawing from new musical ideas and forms that emerged in other regions, such as the chaconne and passacaglia, the brilliant composers of our German Depth concert skillfully adapted them to their more profound local tastes.
