IBRADITION
A proud tradition gained over many years is a
valuable asset for an Orchestra or an Industrial
Company.
Yet in the eyes (and ears) of our respective
audiences, it is no substitute for present day
performance.
BOC Gases and the Guildford Philharmonic
Orchestra have traditions spanning 108 years
and 50 years respectively.
May the way we both perform - today and for
many years to come - continue to attract and
satisfy those audiences whom it is our privilege
to serve.

GUILDFORD PHILHARMONIC CHOIR
The Guildford Philharmonic Choir was formed by
Guildford Borough in order to perform the major choral
repertoire with the Guildford Philharmonic Orchestra.
As well as performing well-known choral works, the
choir specializes in twentieth century British music and
this has led to recordings of Gerald Finzi’s Intimations
of Immortality with the Guildford Philharmonic and
Patrick Hadley’s The Trees So High with the
Philharmonia Orchestra, both
conducted by Vernon Handley.
recordings

The Choir is conducted by some of the most eminent
musicians, and as well as giving frequent concerts in
Guildford, the Choir occasionally visits other British
cities. In 1988 the Guildford Philharmonic Choir
visited Paris, in 1990 joined forces with the Freiburger
BachChor in Freiburg Munster and in November 1993
gave
an outstanding performance
of Britten’s
War
Requiem also with the Freiburger BachChor under
Neville Creed.
The Philharmonic Choir’s next performance will be
with the orchestra in an open air concert of popular
music on 14 July in Shalfford Park at 8.pm.
The Choir has been trained by Jeremy Backhouse, who
was appointed Chorus Director in January 1995.
PROGRAMME=:+—
REQUIEM - Verdi (1813-1901)
In 1871 Verdi has remarked, “There are so many Masses for the dead that it is pointless
several years before he had already written the Libera Me as part of a strange scheme
to add any more.” However,
suggested by the composer
himself that all the leading composers of Italy should combine to write a Requiem after the
death of Rossini in 1868.
The death of the poet Manzoni, in 1873, finally produced the stimulus needed to get Verdi
to develop the Libera Me
into the Requiem and the Dies Irae, and then to complete the Requiem Mass.
It is one of Verdi’s few ecclesiastical compositions, and was a breath of fresh air in sacred
music when it was first
performed in 1874, and remains interesting today for the same reasons, Verdi combines
in it many styles:
unaccompanied choral singing, stylised chant, opera aria, church and theatre music.
With so many styles in the work,
it has suffered badly from being “overdone”, despite Verdi’s many letters to musician friends
obey his markings. He waxed bitter on many occasions about conductors who indulged
that they should simply
in unmarked rubato and
senseless changing of tempi. The full-blooded work has survived these maulings, but is
rarely allowed to show off
its lighter textures without undue sentiment. The composer conducted the first performance.
Requiem & Kyrie
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine et lux perpetua luceat eis,
Grant them, Lord, eternal rest and may perpetual light shine
upon them. Thou O God art praised in Sion and unto Thee shall
the vow be performed in Jerusalem: O hear my prayer, unto Thee
shall all flesh come.
