Peace Be with You

Peace Be With You - Gloriae Dei Cantores released this double CD set of sacred choral cantatas, motets, and works for organ in honor of the 250th anniversary of the death of J.S. Bach. These compositions provide a window into Bach the young musician, and to Bach the aging master. Featured works include the well-known cantata Gottes Zeit ist die Allerbeste Zeit (God's time is best) and the bass solo cantata, Der Friede Sei Mit Dir (Peace Be with You). Like the choral works, the organ works featured on this recording exemplify Bach's entire creative outpouring. "Overall, this collection is exceptional. The eclectic array of compositions will please any listener, especially one who fancies the diversity of the composer. Organ works, cantata with chorus and instruments, and unaccompanied motets, all performed with excitement and vigor, make for two hours of musical entertainment."- Choral Journal
