No series featuring the music of Bach would be complete without his music for voice. Collaborating with the Savannah VOICE Festival to present Mark Delavan (who played Gianni Schicchi in the collaborative Puccini production at SMF 2015), the Bach Cantata in the first half is contrasted by a second half of songs by Copland and Weill. How interesting would it have been for Bach to have sat in the audience to hear the songs by Copland and Kurt Weill and to see his response?
