Clerics
With Richard Baker. Martin Luther 's attack on what he saw as corrupt practices in the Roman Catholic Church led to the break-up of Christendom and changed the course of history. A talented musician, he enlisted music as an essential tool of the Reformation, establishing a form of congregational singing which led to the great chorales of JS Bach. Music includes:
Bach Cantata No 80: Ein Feste Burg 1st Unser Gott
Ghent Collegium Vocale, director Philippe Herreweghe
Plainchant Veni Creator
Spiritus Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos Bach St Matthew Passion (excerpt) Netherlands Bach Society, conductor Ton Koopman
