Welcome to Winter&rsquo;s Joy, our first concert of the 2026-2027 season. We invite you toshare a journey of musical discovery that encompasses a variety of repertoire rangingfrom the 16 th to the 21 st centuries. The program is framed by jubilant movements from the opening and closing of J. S. Bach&rsquo;s monumental ChristmasOratorio, BWV 248. We also trace the evolution of two important melodies used by Bachand other significant composers&mdash; the chant Puer natus in Bethlehem and the PassionChorale, the latter featured in both the Christmas Oratorio and the St. Matthew Passion,which the choir will perform in Lexington this spring.
