Reformation Service, October 27 4 p.m.
Our Festival Reformation Service on October 27 will hold the world premier of my new cantata “Words of Beginning” based on an original text by Kai Hofmann-Krull that dedicated to First Lutheran Church of Boston for its upcoming 175th anniversary. Kai text reflects the light and dark imagery in J. S. Bach’s great Reformation cantata BWV 79 “Gott, der Herr ist Sonn und Schild” and is expanded to a narrative on Genesis the star of Bethlehem and Luther’s enlightenment.
