CD NOTES
The three works included on the Ottawa Bach Choirâs fourth CD, Jesu, meine Freude, cantatas Christ lag in Todes Banden, BWV 4 and Jesu, der du meine Seele, BWV 78 as well as the glorious five-voice motet Jesu, meine Freude, BWV 227, were composed at different points in J.S. Bachâs career, yet are similar in that they use significant Lutheran choralesâboth text and melodyâto unify the works. In these masterpieces is displayed some of Bachâs most diverse and creative genius as he magnificently draws attention to the central themes of the Christian faithâlife, death, and redemptionâand the human response to these eternal themes.

OTTAWA BACH CHOIR (www.ottawabachchoir.ca)
The Ottawa Bach Choir (OBC), founded in 2002 by Dr. Lisette Canton, offers audiences a wide range of choral music of the finest quality, performing music from all historical periods while keeping Bachâs choral oeuvre as the focus of its repertoire. Through a combination of both a scholarly and emotional approach to choral music, the choir expands all aspects of the artistic spectrum. Consisting of some of the top choristers from the National Capital Region and beyond, the choir has achieved national as well as international acclaim.

The OBC performs a large subscription concert series in Ottawa and travels extensively in Canada and abroad, including performances in Leipzig, Stuttgart, Vienna, Salzburg, Prague, Mexico City, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax. The choir will tour for the third time in 2009 to Leipzig (Thomaskirche), London (St. Paulâs Cathedral, the Foundling Museum) and Paris (Cathédrale Notre-Dame, Paroisse de la Madeleine and the American Church).

The professional choir has been broadcast on CBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 as well as on Radio-Canada, and has recorded four compact discs.
