Happy New Year! Johann Sebastian Bach composed his Cantata BWV 171: Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm (God, as Your name is, so is also Your praise) in Leipzig for New Year’s Day. This Cantata, first performed on January 1, 1729, is today’s Beautiful Music. Patrick Chiu conducts this performance by SingFest Choral Academy and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Chorus from an April 2015 in Chung Chi Chapel, at The CUHK.
