Die Zeit vergeht
‘Die Zeit vergeht, die Stunden eilen’. Time waits for no one, and before you know it, you are lying in your grave. This message lies at the heart of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cantatas BWV 26 and 27: meditations on transience, ephemerality and futility, each masterfully illustrated in the music. Collegium Vocale Gent brings the programme to a jubilant close with BWV 30, a radiant and melodious promise of eternal life.
