The ancient Salt Road between Lüneburg and Lübeck, walked by Bach on his way to meet Buxtehude, has existed beyond memory. It was a vital artery for transporting the ‘white gold’ upon which the wealth of the region depended. The music of these two towns is celebrated here in an evocative fusion of music and poetry, of journeys real and imagined, physical and spiritual. The programme brings together an eclectic combination of works from composers including JS Bach, Dietrich Buxtehude, Georg Böhm, and Heinrich Schütz, along with a new commission from organist Silas Wollston; performed by leading period instrument ensemble, In Echo, with readings from writer and broadcaster, Horatio Clare.

Programme includes:
JS Bach Canzona in D minor, BWV 588
Walter Mit fried und freud ich fahr dahin, JWWV 27
Isaac Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen
Schütz So fahr ich hin zu Jesu Christ, SWV 379
Böhm Vater unser im Himmelreich, IGB 24
Buxtehude Ciacona in E minor, BuxWv 160
Silas Wollston White Gold
