About the event
Voxcetera returns to St Michael’s with one of the best-loved great choral works and music from the celebrated James Whitbourn who died last year.
JAMES WHITBOURN
Requiem Canticorum and All shall be Amen and Alleluia
“A truly original communicator in modern British choral music” The Observer
“Whitbourn’s works are widely admired for their sophisticated ability to connect directly with performers and audiences alike” Gramophone
In Requiem Canticorum, a soprano saxophone weaves hauntingly through lush, sustained choral harmonies, while All shall be Amen and Alleluia sets soothing and joyous singing to bright shards of piano and triumphant organ.
JOHANNES BRAHMS
Ein deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem) Orchestrated for chamber ensemble by Iain Farrington.
Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warmly rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the death of his mother, and that of his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and even joy. Of the great, popular requiems, Brahms’ is celebrated as being less a mass for the dead than an offering of solace for those who mourn. Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, soprano Bethany Partridge and baritone Angus McPhee and a chamber ensemble, using Iain Farrington’s exquisite arrangement of the score for eight players. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.
