{"product_id":"motets-3","title":"MOTETS","description":"\u003cp\u003eBach's motets, most of them composed during the 1730s, occupy a rather special position in his output. Never did the Cantor of St. Thomas's devote such meticulous attention to the musical expression of the word, never did he exploit so great a variety of tone-colours, texture and effects. It is as if the entire panoply of Baroque 'expressionism' were concentrated in the settings of the scriptural texts. And once again, in perpetuating a religious genre inherited from his own forefathers, Bach bears it to its highest degree of perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harmonia Mundi","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49607738130712,"sku":"3149020158906","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/motets-3","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
