Bach Concert - MINIMES CANTAT

The two cantatas of this February concert date from relatively late in the Cantor’s life. Cantata BWV 13 Meine Seufzer, meine Tränen (1726) is much shorter, describing the loneliness of someone who feels abandoned by God but who sings in  the second part of the consolation offered by the hope of God’s help. Cantata BWV 97 In allen meinen Taten (1734) is written on a monumental scale, with a great variety of richly expressive forms.

 “The cantatas of the Minimes” have been a Brussels institution for 41 years now. Every fourth Sunday of the month, we present the cantatas of J. S. Bach as the Cantor of Leipzig had done in his time. Free admission at 17.00 for a concert of about 45 minutes in the very beautiful church of Saint-Jacques-sur-Coudenberg where the faithful audience will regularly come for a great spiritual and cultural moment.
