Musical vanitas in the works of Johann Sebastian Bach

Time stands still for no one, and before you know it, the grave awaits. This message lies within Johann Sebastian Bach’s cantatas BWV26 and 27; meditations on transience, fleetingness, futility – always masterfully illustrated in the music. Collegium Vocale Gent concludes jubilantly with BWV30, a melodious promise of eternal life.
