We are grateful to our friend Adrian Cammack for these translations and subtitles. It is because of his engagement that we are able to share the experience of our introductory workshops with our English speaking community.
By the way... Helping us translate our content is a great way of contributing to the Foundation's mission of presenting Bach's vocal work to the world. Please contact us on Facebook, RUclips or sending us an email.

This is my favourite part of the year, and I can think of no better way to prepare for the celebration of our Lord's birth than by listening to Bach's exquisitely sublime music. It is also pure joy to hear Mr. Lutz's and Mr. Graf's comments on the significance of Bach's Cantatas.

Nach einem vollen Tag (Abdankung Frank Jehle) und dem Filmabend der CJA «Kaddisch für einen Freund» habe ich als Vorbereitung auf eine Predigt zum ersten Advent diesen Workshop zu «Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland» mit grossem seelischen Gewinn und innerer Beglückung gehört. Danke für diese wertvolle Verkündigung.

This channel’s video of the performance of the cantata was one of the favorite videos. This video which expounds much of the meaning behind it makes it another favorite. Thank you, and God bless you especially this new Advent season.
