For August, the emphasis is on Bach’s ability to surprise the listener. Bach is often touted as a conservative composer and out of step with some of the more radical compositional techniques of his day. This could not be further from the truth. A few excellent examples include Chorale #2, In allen meinen Taten, BWV 367 for Bach’s usage of chord clusters; Chorale #7, Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir, BWV 339 for his experimental nature in dealing with tonalities; and Chorale #26, Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein, BWV 77, No. 6 for his startling lack of closure at the end of some
of his most intense choral works. Bach certainly shows through these and other examples his ability to continue to surprise, enlighten and delight the listener.https://bfan.link/year-of-bach-bach-chorales-vol-10-august

Our Magical Moon project would not be complete without Beethoven’s iconic Sonata. The first movement, Adagio sostenuto, is loved for its haunting, almost otherworldly atmosphere—a delicate yet powerful musical narrative that Beethoven himself described as a “sonata quasi una fantasia,” The title "Moonlight Sonata" was coined after Beethoven's death by the German poet and music critic Ludwig Rellstab in 1832. Rellstab likened the effect of the sonata's first movement to the impression of moonlight shining on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, shown on the cover. Known for his emotive and technically masterful performances, Carl Petersson brings a fresh, deeply expressive voice to this timeless piece, during this month’s “Buck Moon”. Named for the time when male deer begin to regrow their antlers, July is also associated with thunderstorms, earning it alternative titles like “Thunder Moon”. Enjoy!

This month's full "Strawberry Moon" graces the night sky on June 11, putting on a spectacular show as it rides low over the southeastern horizon. JUNO award-winning, Canadian, composer Jordan Nobles is acclaimed for creating spatial music filled of “unearthly beauty”. Selene Suite, here in a first recording by Petersson, is a meditative collection of five movements, each inspired by lunar landscapes. With the sustain pedal held throughout, sounds dissolve slowly into one another, creating a floating, timeless atmosphere.
