For many, the four timpani beats from the opening chorus of the "Christmas Oratorio" are a signal: Christmas is coming. Now I can feel this childlike anticipation, this tingling. Now I surrender myself completely to this wonderful music and listen to the familiar story again and again in amazement. And so let us shout and rejoice, let us furtively sway along to "Great Lord and Mighty King" and let us secretly sing along to the touching chorales. In short: let's enjoy all the magic of Bach's entire "Christmas Oratorio" together in the Frauenkirche.
