Thomanerchor Leipzig presents a survey of choral music spanning several centuries at the Peterskirche. The programme features works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Heinrich Schütz, and Johann Walter - composers closely tied to the choir's history - alongside pieces by Orlando di Lasso, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Johannes Brahms, and others.

Programme:
Orlando di Lasso (1532-1594): Deus in adiutorium meum intende (Psalm 70, Florilegium Portense I); Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672): Aus der Tiefe, ruf ich, Herr zu Dir (Psalm 131 from: Psalmen Davids, SWV 25); Johann Walter (1496-1570): Wohl dem, der nicht wandelt im Rat der Gottlosen (Psalm 1); Heinrich Schütz: Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen (Psalm 84 from: Psalmen Davids, SWV 29); Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847): Mitten wir im Leben sind (after: Media vita in morte sumsu, verses 2-3 by Martin Luther); Organ interlude; Johannes Brahms (1833-1897): Warum ist das Licht gegeben den Mühseligen (Job 3:20-26; 7:16-19); and further works by Walter, Schütz, Hassler, Biller, and Bach
