20. Starptautiskais garīgās mūzikas festivāls / Fēlikss Mendelszons LOBGESANG

Chakon is a slow dance introduced by the Mauri in Spain. There are 64 variations in the Johanna Sebastian Bachs piece that begins and ends with a majestic theme. In the music literature there are countless Bachs Chakon variations, which once again proves that the amazing logic and clarity of his music, even in seemingly unbelievable combinations of instruments and musical genres, allows his music to maintain its genius essence.

Lobgesang is one of the most ambitious works of the Felix Mendelssohn. Selected texts from the Bible in the work lead in the ascending path of the world of worldly sins in light and joy of God. In essence, the Medelson Symphony No.2 Lobgesang is a cantata, but as Mendelssohn in his life did not name any of his symphonies with a serial number two (composer wrote four symphonies), publishers named the Lobgesang to Symphony No.2 after the death of the composer
