St. Andrew's Bach Society will host members of the Tucson Chamber Artists on Sunday in a concert titled "The Power of 8."

The concert, part of the society's summer recital series, includes sacred works by Brahms, Bach and Britten. Some highlights include Johannes Brahms' seldom-heard motet, Geistliches Lied, Op. 30; and "Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit," one of J.S. Bach's earliest cantatas — two works whose sunny tones defy their intention as funeral pieces.

A likely highlight of the afternoon could come with Benjamin Britten's "Rejoice in the Lamb," a work more famous for Christopher Smart's text than Britten's music. It's based on a poem Smart wrote while he was in an insane asylum, and there's delicious evidence of his madness throughout, including referring to his cat Jeoffrey as "a servant of the living God" and calling a mouse a "creature of great personal valour."

Sunday's concert begins at 3 p.m. at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, 545 S. Fifth Ave. Tickets are $10 adults, $5 students at the door, and seating is limited to 125 people. For further details, call 323-2771.
