Liverpool Bach Collective:Cantata 248/6

Liverpool Bach Collective:Cantata 248/6 Lord, when our arrogant foes snort with rage

Liverpool Bach Collective is a mix of professional, semi-professional and amateur musicians, all of whom have a love for the music of Bach and are united in their passion and their commitment in performing his wonderful works. This Epiphany cantata recounts Herod's anger when he is hoodwinked by the three Magi, after they visit the child Jesus with their gifts, but fail to return to Herod's court to inform him of the child's location. The festive setting, which includes three trumpets and timpani, also forms the concluding part of the Christmas Oratorio.
