Heinichen Requiem

Saeculum Aureum Joined the Cathedral Consort as soloists and choir members for this performance of Johann David Heinichen's Requiem in E-flat, accompanied by an orchestra of local musicians. Overshadowed by his contemporary, J.S. Bach, much of Heinichen's work as both a composer and a theorist is often overlooked, in spite of references to him as a distinguished composer in contemporary literature and his appointment as Royal-Polish and Electoral-Saxon Kapellmeister to the Dresden Court in 1716.
