Description Of Event	For much of his life, J.S. Bach created sacred music week after week, as required by his job as a church organist and music director. The Christmas season provided extra inspiration and opportunity for Bach. He composed a grand Christmas Oratorio, which consisted of six separate cantatas, each telling a part of the Biblical story. The first cantata celebrates the first day of Christmas. Cantata No. 6 celebrates Epiphany, traditional end of the Christmas period. Conducting this festive program is one of the world�s top Baroque specialists, Dutch keyboardist Ton Koopman, who has recorded all of Bach�s nearly 200 cantatas. Two other pieces on the program, both instrumental, were not composed for Christmas, but enhance the spirit of celebration.
