There’s been some lovely music composed for Easter, including a brand-new recording of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Easter Oratorio, which he wrote to celebrate the holiday in Leipzig, Germany, in 1725. You’ll also hear a buoyant double trumpet concerto by Antonio Vivaldi, and a charming bouquet of Scottish spring flowers. It’s on Sunday Baroque this weekend.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
