"Songs of Hope" by the Bach Choir of Bethlehem and Bach Festival Orchestra; Greg Funfgeld, Artistic Director and Conductor
From the Psalms of David to 18th century poetry by Christopher Smart written in an English lunatic asylum, and 20th century poetry by Carl Sandburg written in depression-era Chicago, the texts of our Songs of Hope are moving affirmations of hope in the face of adversity in the hands of composers Bach, Britten, Bernstein, and Paulus, these amazing words resonate with the longing for peace and healing in our own time.
