Carus 83.170

Music from Dresden is a major theme for Carus - whether it be festive music for the Court of Dresden or the sacred repertoire from,historically, two of Dresden s most important churches, the Kreuzkirche and the Frauenkirche. The Christmas cantatas by Gottfried August Homilius are a most interesting highlight among Dresden s treasures. For over forty years Homilius worked at the Frauenkirche Dresden, thus he held one of the most important posts in the field of church music in the Residence City of Saxony. In contrast to his predecessors, he composed most of the music required in his positions himself. His music was performed far beyond the boundaries of Dresden, which clearly shows the popularity which he enjoyed in his day. The Körnersche Sing- Verein, the Dresden Instrumental-Concert and outstanding soloists play under the direction of Peter Kopp.
