J S Bach B Minor Mass
With the Cambridge Baroque Camerata The scale and grandeur of J.S. Bach’s B Minor Mass almost certainly means it was never meant to be performed within a liturgical setting. It was Bach’s last great choral masterpiece, and was not performed in full until over 100 years after his death. We are delighted to be joined for this incredible work by the Cambridge Baroque Camerata in the Victorian Gothic splendour of St John’s College Chapel, Cambridge.

Songs of Farewell
Parry Songs of Farewell Victoria Requiem For our final concerts of the season, we turn to the last great pieces of two very different composers. The Spanish Renaissance composer Victoria’s Requiem Mass, written at the end of the Siglo de Oro (the Spanish Golden Age) is often regarded as a funeral for a departing era, and contrasts beautifully with the work of the English composer Hubert Parry. Written during the First World War, Parry’s six Songs of Farewell can be seen as the pinnacle of his choral compositions, completed in the last year of his life. The movements of the two works are interspersed to provide a unique listening experience Saturday 22 June 2019 7.30pm
