On 21 November 2021, a liturgical service in the Wilhelminakerk in Bussum (NL) will include a performance of J.S. Bach’s cantata ‘Wachet auf ruft uns die Stimme’ BWV140, as well as an arrangement for assembly, choir, baroque orchestra and grand organ of the chorale ‘Grote God wij loven U’, commissioned for the occasion to Lucio Mosè Benaglia. The performers will be the Vocaal ensemble Voices, the Wilhelminaconsort orchestra and organist Wybe Kooijmans. The performance will be conducted by Piet Philipse.
This work came about as part of a scholarship programme awarded by the German Ministry of Art and Culture to encourage compositional works dedicated to small ensembles, more suitable for performance in these pandemic times.
