In this episode of Encore Houston, you’ll hear all of Johann Sebastian Bach’s motets, as performed by the Bach Society Houston. These sacred works were a popular genre throughout the Renaissance, but began to fall out of favor in Bach’s time, but these are also among some of his most revered pieces.
