Ascension Day is considered the “little” feast between Easter and Christmas. Nevertheless, the holiday of the Ascensio Domini was celebrated with great splendour and festivity in the 18th century, which the Ascension compositions by Bach and Telemann bring to our ears with all the resources of musical art: expansive choirs with lush instrumentation that musically stage the Ascension with their soaring melodic lines, radiant trumpet sounds that proclaim the new kingdom of Christ and ravishing arias that comment on the mystical events. The astonishment at the miracle of Christ’s resurrection is illustrated by Biber’s 11th Rosary Sonata with excited chord breaks and shimmering trills, and is the intimate counterpart to the festive works of Bach and Telemann.
