Lovers Lane, Dallas, Texas 75214. This presentation will include an in-depth, hands-on analysis of two works... first, the hymn by Luther, "Christ lag in Todesbanden" (Christ lay in death's strong bands) and, second, the magnificent cantata (BWV 4) that 100 years later Bach based on this hymn. The presenter will be Steven Lund, a retired Lutheran educator, who lectures about music extensively in the Dallas area. This presentation is part of a series of events, which is planned to prepare Lutheran churches--LCMS and ELCA--in preparation for the year 2017 (the 500th Year Anniversary of the Reformation). Although there is no charge for this event, please RSVP by October 4 and direct questions to Sandra Bauer at 972-241-3545 or sbauer@internationalcapital.com
