What attracted Bach to Lübeck, the destination of his only major trip – before the late Potsdam trip to Frederick II – was the exciting personality of Dietrich Buxtehude. It is also a city open beyond the Baltic Sea, to the Scandinavian countries, Holland, England, a flourishing city cultivating the arts and which made its main church, Saint Mary, one of the most sought-after music from Northern Europe. The regular concerts named Abendmusiken took place therewhere cantatas, oratorios and instrumental works by Buxtehude and his German predecessors and contemporaries were performed, including Franz Tunder, Samuel Capricornus, Johann Rosenmüller, who shared their admiration for Italian art: both for the expressive art of Carissimi's oratorio like the splendours of Venetian polychorality.

This program, in light format, is marked by the variety of atmospheres: by turns laudatory, meditative, plaintive and jubilant, as by the variety of composers, diverse although related, and who all participate in the constellation of models of Buxtehude as, beyond the master of Lübeck, of JS Bach. The instrumental works serve as a setting, a breath of fresh air and a contrast to the vocal pieces, all of which vary in style.
