Surrey Advanced Brass Ensemble
The Surrey Advanced Brass Ensemble was officially founded in
2010 by Michael Chapple, at the request of some of the more
experienced brass students of Surrey Arts. Since then it has
flourished and now includes the finest brass players from all of
Surrey's top ensembles.
They play a wide variety of music from renaissance brass music,
through to contemporary music styles and traditional brass band
music, and are performing a selection of this varied repertoire
here for us tonight.
Orff: Carmina Burana
Carl Orff (1895 - 1982) is known mainly for the cantata Carmina
Burana, a work by turns scenic and racy. The text dates back to
mediaeval manuscripts, in both German of the day and Latin, on
a wide range of subjects - fortune and wealth, certain joys of
spring and such topics as drinking, gluttony, gambling and lust!
On November 14", Vivace Chorus will be performing this work in
its entirety in G Live. Tonight we are presenting five pieces to give
you a flavour of this extraordinary work. The first two are on the
turning of the wheel of fortune, the third on the joys of spring and
the last two from a sequence of folk dances.
O Fortuna
Fortune plango vulnera
Ecce gratum
Chramer, gip die varwe
Swaz hie gat umbe; Chume, chum geselle min
Rutter: Gloria
John Rutter (born 1945) is a British composer, conductor, editor,
arranger and record producer, who has made a great contribution
to contemporary choral music. The Gloria, written in 1974, is
based on the second section of the Latin Mass. Rutter’s jubilant
setting
is divided
into three
movements
and
is tonight
accompanied by brass and organ, making together very much ‘a
joyful noise unto the Lord’.

Jeremy Backhouse
Jeremy is one of Britain’s leading conductors of amateur choirs.
He has been the sole conductor of the internationally-renowned
chamber choir Vasari Singers since its inception in 1980.
In January 1995, Jeremy was appointed Music Director of the
Vivace Chorus (then the Guildford Philharmonic Choir) and has
conducted the choir in some ambitious programmes, in
Guildford, in the Royal Albert Hall in London and on tour abroad.
Jeremy has also worked with a number of the country's leading
choirs, including the BBC Singers, the Philharmonia Chorus, the
London Choral Society, Brighton Festival Chorus and the
Wooburn Singers. He is now also the Music Director of Salisbury
Community Choir.
Vivace Chorus
Vivace Chorus is a flourishing and adventurous choir based here
in Guildford. We have two aims: to make music of the highest
standard and to have fun while doing so. Since it began some 67
years ago as the Guildford Philharmonic Choir, Vivace has gained
an enviable reputation for performing first-class concerts across
a wide range of musical repertoire.

Shooting Star Chase
A leading children’s hospice charity caring for babies, children
and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families,
Shooting Star Chase is there to make every moment count.
Their care service is free of charge to families and includes short
breaks at their two hospices (Shooting Star House in Hampton
and Christopher’s in Guildford), Hospice at Home, day care,
symptom management, end-of-life care, bereavement care and
a comprehensive range of therapies and support groups for the
whole family.
It costs £9.5 million a year just to maintain the current level of
care. Only around 10% of that income comes from government
funding, so the charity relies on donations to keep the service
running.
