A programme not to be missed!
‘Serenity, intensity and beauty’
These link this reflective and uplifting spring programme from the Vivace Chorus.
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings - Regularly voted as one of the most popular
pieces by classical music fans, the powerfully passionate Adagio for Strings by Samuel
Barber has been played at some of the most moving and poignant times in modern
history, including during the TV announcement of the assassination of President John
F Kennedy, at the Last Night of the Proms to commemorate victims of the 9/11 attacks
and in 2016, outside the Brussels Stock Exchange, after the attacks there.
Howells - Requiem - This is a work so personal that the composer kept it hidden from
the public for 45 years. Howells wrote his Requiem in 1935 after the death of his son
Michael, from spinal meningitis, aged just nine. He finally released this intensely private
work in 1980, only three years before his own death.
Mozart - Mass in C minor - From one of the world's most prolific and celebrated
composers, The Mass in C minor is regarded by many to be Mozart's finest choral work,
even finer than his incomplete Requiem, containing as it does some of his most
exquisite musical utterances, created by the simplest and most beautiful of means.
Vivace will be joined by the Brandenburg Sinfonia, Claire Seaton soprano, Lucy
Goddard mezzo-soprano, Roy Rashbrook tenor and Richard Walsh bass.
