Musical Director: James Potter
​Mezzo-soprano: Gabriella Noble | Harp: Hebe Kan | Percussion:​ Charlotte Dalmijn | Organ: Will Mason
Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, in the original Hebrew, are an eruption of joy: dynamic and irrepressible, beautiful and menacing. Bernstein’s contemporary Copland reaches back to the creation of all things in the audacious In the beginning, which leads us to other startling music of myth and creation by Arvo Pärt, Sarah Rimkus, and others.
Programme:
  • Orlando Lassus In principio erat verbum
  • Arvo Pärt Which was the son of
  • Aaron Copland In the beginning
  • Sarah Rimkus The God who sees me

The Song of the Mass: German Romantic Choral Music
Musical Director: James Potter
​
Rheinberger’s a cappella Mass for double choir (subtitled 'The Song of the Mass') is one of the most beautiful choral works of the 19th century: elegant, flowing, and beautiful. We situate it among other sublime choral music from Romantic-era Germany, with songs, sacred music, and lieder by Brahms, Mendelssohn, as well as neglected songs by Mendelssohn’s sister, Fanny Hensel.
Programme:
  • Felix Mendelssohn Jauchzet dem Herrn
  • Felix Mendelssohn Denn er hat seinen Engeln befohlen
  • Johannes Brahms Fünf Gesänge (Op. 104)
  • Fanny Hensel Gartenlieder (Op. 3)
  • Josef​ Rheinberger Mass in Eb major (‘Cantus Missae')
