The event is part of the 20th Goldberg Festival <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert opens with the cantata Herr, nun l\u00e4ssest du deinen Diener<\/em> by Johann Jeremias du Grain (1700\u20131756) \u2013 a German composer who settled in Gda\u0144sk in 1739. Shortly afterwards, he gave the city\u2019s first public concert featuring a choir and orchestra \u2013 thus establishing in the port city the custom, so familiar to us today, of gathering for the sole purpose of listening to music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will hear Vergn\u00fcgte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust<\/em>, BWV 170 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685\u20131750). The opening aria is pastoral in character, evoking the image of Christ as the Good Shepherd. The profound longing for \u201cblissful repose\u201d and \u201cthe soul\u2019s delight\u201d may find solace after death \u2013 in the heavenly pastures reached by renouncing sinful intentions and embarking upon the path of virtue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving as a kind of interlude between the cantatas is the Ouverture in G minor<\/em> by a distant relative of the Leipzig cantor \u2013 Johann Bernhard Bach (1676\u20131749). His outstanding instrumental compositions were incorporated by Johann Sebastian into the repertoire of the Leipzig Collegium Musicum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert concludes with works by the festival\u2019s patron \u2013 Johann Gottlieb Goldberg (1727\u20131756). Although few details of the famous Gda\u0144sk-born musician\u2019s life are known today, there is no doubt that he studied music with, among others, Johann Sebastian Bach. His church cantatas in the Bachian style most likely date from the period of his studies with the Leipzig cantor, around 1742: Durch die herzliche Barmherzigkeit<\/em>, written for the Feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist, and Hilf, Herr, die Heiligen haben abgenommen<\/em>, a setting of Psalm 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
