Expressive Devotion on Palm Sunday: Bach at the Resurrection Church
In quiet anticipation, the congregation opens hearts and ears on Palm Sunday: A cantata service makes the spiritual community palpable and leads right into the season of Passion. Music by Johann Sebastian Bach deepens the prayer, strengthens the soul, and anchors the religious experience in the here and now.
Spiritual Depth: Experience of Faith in the Season of Passion
In the service, liturgy, prayer, and theology meet. The congregation celebrates Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and prepares internally for Holy Week and Easter. Words of the sermon invite reflection, group singing fosters a sense of community and tranquility.
Bach Cantata BWV 182: Heavenly King, welcome
Excerpts from Cantata BWV 182 are part of Bach's early Weimar church works for Palm Sunday. The fine timbres of flute, strings, and organ paint the scene of the Hosanna call and lead from the biblical events to personal discipleship. The cantata text unfolds the joy over the coming king and connects it with the inner reflection of the believers.
Contributors from Local Church Music
Bass-baritone Thomas Hamberger and dean cantor Matthias Bertelshofer perform together with accomplished interpreters who understand sacred music as proclamation and artistic devotion. Since 2020, Cantor Bertelshofer has shaped church music in the Traunstein deanery and stands for a vibrant, community-building music culture.
Sermon and Pastoral Care: Pastor Hannah von Schroeders
The sermon is delivered by Pastor Hannah von Schroeders. Her pastoral perspective invites attendees to pause, listen, and appreciate the perspective of others. This creates a trusting atmosphere where faith, prayer, and love for one's neighbor become tangible.
Church Space with History
The neo-Gothic Resurrection Church (consecrated in 1899) offers a bright interior, red marble columns, and a resonant organ as a dignified setting. Architecture and music combine here to create a spiritual experience that speaks to both heart and mind.
