I. In dulci jubilio, BWV 729 (ca. 1730)
Music by J. S. Bach (1685–1750)

The original medieval melody of “In dulci jubilo” dates back at least to the 14th century. Frequently set by Bach in multiple works, this familiar tune exists in chorale, double canon and chorale prelude forms. While traditionally offered as a postlude for Christmas services, BWV 729 for organ solo packs a mighty punch and serves as the overture to our concert this afternoon.
