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.

SUMMARY:Timeless Voices\, Heavenly Echoes
DESCRIPTION:The blooming of Europe’s earliest music\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an enlightening journey back into musical history set in the oldest church in Leeds!  \n\n\n\nFrom Hildegard to Gibbons\, this programme tracks how choral music developed across Europe through the Renaissance. The latest work was composed just ten years before St John’s Church was opened in 1634. \n\n\n\nEnglish Tudor masters William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons will feature alongside Italian\, Spanish and Flemish composers. Two of the earliest known female composers\, Hildegard and the Italian nun Raffaella Aleotti\, also get to strut their stuff! \n\n\n\nStarting at 4.30pm\, the concert will be relaxed: you will be able to come and go\, and to make the most of this rare chance to take in the superb interior of this ancient building. The church will be open all afternoon\, including while we rehearse\, so feel free to drop in and be curious! \n\n\n\nAdmission is free: you will be encouraged to donate to the Churches Conservation Trust who care for the building and to whom all proceeds will be given. \n\n\n\nThe concert will last about an hour. \n\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. We will do all we can to make anyone who comes to our concerts feel welcome and at ease. So if you’ve not tried this music out before\, why not come along and bring a friend? St John’s is an accessible venue\, albeit with no toilet facilities. Everyone is welcome.  \n\n\n\nWhat to expect at a St Peter’s Singers concert. \n\n\n\nPlease note that while we make every effort to present the advertised programme\, we cannot guarantee to do so or be held responsible if circumstances require a change. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nLaus TrinitatiHildegardUrbs beata JerusalemGuillaume DufayAve MariaJosquinVirgo PrudentissimaHeinrich IsaacVeni\, Dilecti miLassusMissa O quam gloriosamTomas Luis da VittoriaHaec DiesWilliam ByrdO Rex gloriaeLuca MarenzioAscendens Christus in altumRaffaella AleottiO clap your handsOrlando Gibbons\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers\n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow director\n\n\n\nAccess and accessibility\n\n\n\nSt John’s Church can be accessed from the corner of Mark Lane and New Briggate (opposite the Grand Theatre)\, or from Merrion Street via Merrion Street Gardens.
