The Eleventh Day of and Second Sunday after Christmas

Today calls for music. Here is J.S. Bach's Weihnachtsoratorium (Christmas Oratorio) BWV 248. Part Five, presented here in its entirity, was written especially for presentation on the first Sunday after Christmas. Performers are soloists and members of the Tolzer Knabenchor and the Consentus Musicus Wein under the direction of Nikolaus Harnoncourt.

Divine inspiration throughout.
