We offer wonderful music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1675-1750) for orchestra
and chorus: the Brandenburg Concerto #2, featuring virtuoso trumpet player
Robinson Pyle; a seldom-performed "Sanctus" (BWV 238) for chorus and strings; a German motet by Johann Michael Bach, an aria "Alles Mit Gott und Nichts ohn' ihn" (BWV 1127); and the
marvelous Magnificat in D for chorus, soloists and orchestra.
A very recently-discovered, delightful strophic aria, by Johann Sebastian
Bach will be sung by Joan Kirchner, soprano. This performance marks a premiere
for the aria, BWV 1127, on Cape Cod!
Robinson Pyle, trumpet, performs extensively throughout the New England area on both modern and historic instruments. He performs as a regular member of Boston Baroque, Boston Cecilia, and Lyra Concert (Minneapolis, MN). He makes frequent appearances with the Handel & Haydn Society, Arcadia Players, Apollo's Fire (Cleveland, OH), New Hampshire Music Festival, Portland Symphony
Orchestra, Studio de musique ancienne de Montreal, and Vermont Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Pyle performed on the Grammy-nominated Boston Baroque recording of Bach's B-Minor Mass. He has also recorded on Telarc, Eclectra, Interscope, OJE and A2Z labels, and has been featured in radio broadcasts on National Public Radio, the CBC, and European Community Radio. Mr. Pyle holds a degree in Trumpet Performance from the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, and is currently a faculty member in the Historical Performance Department at Boston University.
