Bach Cantata 1
The Bach Cantata Series is dedicated to exploring the more than 200 extant cantatas by the great master through informal performances by students and friends of the UMD Choral Activities.
Also known as "The Coffee Cantata", "Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht" is a satirical work, poking fun at coffee as a 17th and 18th century vice in trading cities like Leipzig, where the cantata was premiered at Gottfried Zimmerman's coffeehouse.
