Since I’m away at a choral workshop this weekend, and I’ve written extensively about all cantatas for this Sunday in the past, I gladly refer you to the overview in my blog post from 2020. Happy reading!

Dear ms Gorter
I frequently read your insightful posts until April 2022 when you were visiting Leipzig with obvious excitement. Then you posted no more for over a year and I feared that something terrible had happened.
I would check every month or three, and was getting resigned to the fact that “Denn alles fleisch ist wie Gras”.
However, I checked – without much hope this morning and here you are back again with posts from August too. Wonderful- and back in Bachland too. I hope you have a wonderful trip and look forward to reading snippets about it in coming weeks.
I hope for you the “ allerbeste zeit” is still some way off!
Yours sincerely
Jon Jackson

Dear Jon,
How kind of you to leave a comment here. I’m so glad to learn that you enjoy reading this blog. And what a coincidence you quoted Brahms’ Requiem because that’s exactly the subject of the choir workshop I participated in last weekend. It was just one weekend in another town in the Netherlands and I’m already back in Amsterdam. I wish I was back in Bach land! Alas, I have not been back since I was there in April 2022. I’m hoping to go in 2024. I’m so sorry to have worried you with my absence between April 2022 and August 2023. Please rest assured I’m in good health and doing well. Over the past year, I’ve been trying to decide what to share/what not to share regarding the reasons for my absence, but I need a bit more time to think about that.
Very best regards,
Wieneke
