In the Beginning
For our first concert of the season, we find inspiration for our music from Russia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and the United States. The centrepieces of our concert are Kodaly’s expressive Missa Brevis and Copland’s scintillating setting of the opening of the book of Genesis, and these are offered alongside two contrasting settings of the Lord’s Prayer: one by Janáček, for choir, organ and harp, and a real jewel of a version by the Russian conductor-composer Nikolai Golovanov. |

Stabat Mater
Passiontide has been fertile ground for composers through the ages. Alongside motets from the Renaissance and early 20th centuries, the concert will also feature two significant works, each very much of its time. Domenico Scarlatti’s Stabat Mater (1715) is a masterpiece of the choral repertoire, full of meditation and reflection, but also with drama provided by soloists emerging from the choir. In contrast, but equally powerfully, we will also be singing James Macmillan’s Cantos Sagrados (Sacred Songs, 1989), which combines sacred and secular texts highlighting political repression in South America. |

O How Glorious
A celebration of England’s remarkable tradition of choral music. We begin in joyful style with the effervescence of Purcell’s I was Glad, written for the coronation of James II in 1685, and move on to explore well-known and less familiar repertoire of the 19th and 20th centuries. The concert culminates with three beautiful and innovative contemporary works, including the world première of Hilary Burgoyne’s Fantasia on an Anthem by Tallis, which was runner-up in our Composition Competition last season and includes an audience chorus. If you are a singer with some choral singing experience and would like to take part in the audience chorus of this world première, please contact audiencechoruscambridge.org.uk to register interest. |
