Ex Cathedra 'virtual choir' - Bach, O sacred head surrounded

RECORDED APRIL 2020
This is the second of our Holy Week videos, released for Maundy Thursday, and recorded from our own homes.
As Jeffrey explains in the accompanying video, this piece was due to be sung by the choir and audience - led by members of several local choirs - to begin the liturgical reconstruction of our Bach St John Passion at Symphony Hall on Good Friday.
We are therefore delighted that this film includes contributions from members of the local choirs, audience, our youth training choirs and instrumentalists.
On Good Friday we will release another chorale, the final music of Bach's St John Passion, performed by the singers and period instrumentalists of Ex Cathedra.
This video is offered free of charge during what is a financially devastating time for organisations like Ex Cathedra. We'd like to thank all of the musicians for volunteering their videos.
If you have appreciated this video please consider helping us with a donation: excathedra.co.uk/support-us/c.... Thank you.
