Bach's motets, most of them composed during the 1730s, are among his finest vocal works. They feature a meticulous attention to the musical expression of the word, employing a tremendous variety of tone-colors, textures and effects. On this recording, Raphaël Pichon and his ensemble Pygmalion bring out every nuance of these exceptional choral masterpieces.

Lobet den Herren, alle Heiden BWV 230
Osculetur me osculo oris sui
Komm, Jesu, komm BWV 229
Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf BWV 226
Furchte dich nicht, ich bin bei dir BWV 228
Ecce, quomodo moritur iustus
Jesu, meine Freude
Unter deinen Schirmen
Denn das Gesetz des Geistes
Trotz dem alten Drachen
Ihr aber seid nicht fleischlich
Weg mit allen Schätzen
So aber Christus in euch ist
Gute Nacht, o Wesen
So nun der Geist
Weicht, ihr Trauergeister
Jubilate Deo a 8
Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied
Wie sich sein Vater erbarmet ; Gott, nimm dich ferner unser an
Lobet den Herrn in seinen Taten
