SUMMARY:Polyphony to Pop
DESCRIPTION:Centuries of song\, featuring Renaissance Motets\, Romanticmasterworks\, and beloved 20th-century classics \n\n\n\n\nReaching from the celestial heights of the Sistine Chapel to the rolling hills of the English countryside\, join us for a journey through the evolution of the human voice. We begin in the Renaissance\, where the intricate Polyphony of Victoria and Aleotti offered a glimpse of the divine. This sacred devotion finds a new\, powerful emotional depth in the German Romantic masterpieces of Brahms\, Bruckner\, and Mendelssohn. \n\n\n\nFollowing the interval\, the mood shifts as we celebrate the secular spirit of the 20th century. Through the nostalgic folk-harmonies of Vaughan Williams and Stanford\, and concluding with the iconic modern storytelling of Les Misérables and Paul Simon\, we explore how choral music continues to capture the essence of our shared experience. \n\n\n\nAdmission is free; donations are solicited towards the work of St Alkmunds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n\nAve MariaJosquinMissa O quam gloriosamTomas Luis da VictoriaAscendens Christus in altumRaffaella AleottiO Rex gloriaeLuca MarenzioVerleih uns FriedenFelix MendelssohnGeistliches LiedJohannes BrahmsChristus factus estAnton Bruckner\n\n\n\n\n\nInterval \n\n\n\nLinden LeaRalph Vaughan WilliamsThe Turtle DoveRalph Vaughan WilliamsMy spirit sang all dayGerald FinziThe Blue BirdCharles Villiers StanfordMy Love dwelt in a northern landEdward ElgarThe Sound of SilencePaul SimonMedley from Les MisérablesClaude-Michel Schönberg\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers\n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow conductor\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers are passionate about the music we sing and want to share it with as many people as possible.
