Johann Sebastian Bach composed in Leipzig two cantatas for the feast which concluded Christmastide:

  • Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen, BWV 65 (1724)
  • Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123 (1725)

Part VI of his Christmas Oratorio, Herr, wenn die stolzen Feinde schnauben, was also designed to be performed during the service for Epiphany.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    This music crept by me upon the waters,
    Allaying both their fury and my passion
    With its sweet air; thence have I followed it,
    Or it hath drawn me rather.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    The first condition for making music is not to make a noise.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)
