SUMMARY:Music for Good Friday: Penthos
DESCRIPTION:A new Requiem\n\n\n\nThe second performance of this visionary new work\n\n\n\ncreated and first performed in Leeds in 2018\n\n\n\n\nPenthos is a work for Choir\, Orchestra\, Organ and Soloists that combines high-quality music and poetry\, and lasts nearly an hour.  \n\n\n\nIt takes the form of the traditional Requiem Mass\, but with new words exploring themes of reconciliation and forgiveness\, and music that reaches beyond the words to speak to – and affirm – our deepest human longings. \n\n\n\n\n\n“Put quite simply\, it is a work of depth\, maturity\, power\, beauty and sheer brilliance\, whose qualities are revealing themselves week by week in rehearsal.” \nAlex Woodrow\, Conductor\, St Peter’s Singers\n\n\n\n\n“So it is locally written and locally performed\, but trust me it will sound to you as if it has existed as a core of choral music for centuries. It is that good.” \nRichard Pascoe\,  Member of St Peter’s Singers\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n“A striking quality of the auspicious premiere … was the communicative power of the Penthos Requiem to connect with the listener” \nGeoffrey Mogridge on Penthos in The Wharfedale Observer\n\n\n\nFor those who were present\, the first performance of Penthos in October 2018 was something they are unlikely to forget: Matthew Oglesby’s powerful music adding further imaginative and emotional depth to Hannah Stone’s visionary poetry. \n\n\n\nThe pandemic forced the postponement of the second performance\, planned for April 2020\, but we were determined that there should be another opportunity to hear this superb work. \n\n\n\nIf you couldn’t get to that first performance in 2018\, or you would like to hear it again… this is your chance\, not to be missed!  \n\n\n\nHannah Stone and Matthew Oglesby live in or around Leeds. They are members of St Peter’s Singers and highly active in Leeds’ cultural life. \n\n\n\nFind out more about Penthos… \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nPenthos\n\n\n\nHannah Stone and Matthew Oglesby\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers \n\n\n\nLucy Appleyard contralto \n\n\n\nQuentin Brown bass \n\n\n\nWilliam Campbell organ \n\n\n\nNational Festival Orchestra \n\n\n\nSally Robinson leader \n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow  conductor \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers gratefully acknowledge the generous support of  \n\n\n\nThe Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Friends of the Music of Leeds Minster \n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers’ presentation of Music for Good Friday is an annual event\, given by kind permission of Leeds Minster. It provides an opportunity to hear one of the great works of the sacred Oratorio repertoire in a context than a concert hall performance on a Saturday evening cannot provide\, and at a price that more people can afford. \n\n\n\nPast works receiving performance include: \n\n\n\n\nBach’s St John Passion\n\n\n\nBach’s B Minor Mass\n\n\n\nHandel’s Messiah \n\n\n\nBrahms’ German Requiem\n\n\n\nDvorak’s Stabat Mater\n\n\n\nHaydn’s Stabat Mater\n\n\n\nScarlatti’s Stabat Mater

SUMMARY:Double Entendre
DESCRIPTION:from Schütz to Pärt – glorious music for two choirs\n\n\n\n\n\nLeeds Minster LS2 7DJ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s not often you get to hear two choirs for the price of one!  \n\n\n\nChoirs sometimes combine to form a large chorus for a work on  a grand scale\, but this is different.  \n\n\n\nIn this unique event\, Leeds Guild of Singers and St Peter’s Singers combine to offer music for single choir\, double choir and much in between. You can experience the thrill of hearing all 70 voices singing together in works such as Rheinberger’s glorious Mass in E flat\, but also enjoy the contrasts of each choir singing on their own.  \n\n\n\nThe programme includes a broad range of choral music ranging from the early German music of Schütz and Buxtehude through Romantic works by Mendelssohn\, Rheinberger and Rachmaninoff to more modern works by Schnittke and Arvo Pärt. \n\n\n\nThe concert takes place in the beautful setting of Leeds Minster at 4pm on Saturday 11 February\, and will last about an hour. Refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                \n                \n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nDenn er hat seinen Engeln befohlenFelix MendelssohnThree sacred hymnsAlfred SchnittkeJauchzet dem HerrnHeinrich SchützMagnificatDieterich BuxtehudeMagnificatArvo PärtChoral ConcertoSergei RachmaninoffMass in E flat ‘Cantus Missae’Joseph Rheinberger\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeeds Guild of Singers \n\n\n\nBenjamin Kirk Conductor \n\n\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers \n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow Conductor

SUMMARY:A Vision of Albion
DESCRIPTION:Vaughan Williams and the soul of English music\n\n\n\nLeeds Minster LS2 7DJ\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis celebration of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ choral music\, given in honour of his 150th anniversary\, explores some of the colours and sounds of what we now recognize as the greatest and most authentic voice of English music to emerge after the Great War. \n\n\n\nThe programme encompasses both folksong and some of his most sublime spiritual outpourings. \n\n\n\nThe concert will last about an hour and a half\, including an interval\, during which refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nCoelos ascendit hodieCharles Villiers StanfordJustorum AnimaeCharles Villiers StanfordBeati quorum viaCharles Villiers StanfordThere is an old beliefHubert ParryO taste and seeRalph Vaughan WilliamsO Clap your handsRalph Vaughan WilliamsMass in G MinorRalph Vaughan WilliamsIntervalThe Turtle DoveRalph Vaughan WilliamsLinden LeaRalph Vaughan WilliamsReconciliation (from Dona nobis pacem)Ralph Vaughan WilliamsNunc dimittisGustav HolstLord\, thou has been our refugeRalph Vaughan Williams\n\n\n\n\nVaughan Williams was a man of contradictions\, not least as an agnostic with a profound sense and desire for the spiritual. He found his voice as he sought out\, preserved and assimilated the folksongs of England\, finding in them a simplicity of musical expression a world away from the music of Empire\, and then transforming that material into profound high art\, capable of speaking to and for a nation in a way his Edwardian predecessors no longer could. \n\n\n\nOur programme showcases the influences of his teachers Parry and Stanford which he absorbed but gradually left behind. It includes some of his folksong arrangements\, and some of his finest spiritual music – the Mass in G Minor\, first performed 100 years ago almost to the day\, and the anthem O God our help in ages past. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers \n\n\n\nDavid Grealy – organ \n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow Director

SUMMARY:From Earth to Heaven
DESCRIPTION:Music from the Minsters of Leeds and York\n\n\n\nLeeds Minster LS2 7DJ\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoving\, spiritual music by the late Dr Francis Jackson\, Sir Edward Bairstow and Philip Moore celebrating the connection between the Minsters of Leeds and York. \n\n\n\nDr Francis Jackson\n\n\n\nThis concert is given in tribute to Dr Francis Jackson\, who passed away early this year\, aged 104. \n\n\n\nIt will last about 90 minutes\, including an interval\, during which refreshments will be served. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nBenediciteFrancis JacksonMagnificat in GFrancis JacksonNunc dimittis in GFrancis JacksonAll wisdom cometh from the LordPhilip MooreStabat MaterFrancis JacksonIntervalLet all mortal flesh keep silenceEdward BairstowI sat down under his shadowEdward BairstowEvening HymnFrancis JacksonTu es PetrusPhilip MooreFrom Earth to HeavenPhilip Moore\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeeds Minster has been fortunate to enjoy a long-established musical relationship with York Minster\, going back to the time that Sir Edward Bairstow moved from Leeds to York in 1913 to take up the position of Organist and Director of Music\, a post he held until his death in 1946.  \n\n\n\nDuring his tenure Bairstow oversaw the development of Francis Jackson from chorister to assistant organist\, with Jackson eventually succeeding him at the tender age of 28. Dr Jackson held the post until his retirement in 1982 and was succeeded by Philip Moore who in turn stayed until 2008\, completing a span of 95 years’ occupation of the post between them. \n\n\n\nAll three wrote music for choirs based at Leeds Minster (then Leeds Parish Church)\, with Jackson and Moore completing commissions for both the Choir of Leeds Parish Church and St Peter’s Singers as their relationships with the choirs and their Director Dr Simon Lindley developed. Today’s recital celebrates these connections as we pay special homage to Dr Jackson. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme notes\n\n\n\nThe recital opens with Bairstow’s internationally-renowned Motet Let all mortal flesh keep silence\, written for the choir of Leeds Parish Church in 1906\, and recorded by St Peter’s Singers in 2014.  \n\n\n\nFrom Jackson’s pen come his much-loved Benedicite (which featured in this summer’s Platinum Jubilee service at St Paul’s)\, and Evening Service in G (‘Me in G’ as he called it). If the haunting Nunc Dimittis (‘Lord\, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace’) suggests a willingness to dwell on what may greet all of us one day\, then the stunning harmonies of Evening Hymn suggest both vision and confidence on that front. The programme also affords a rare chance to hear his Stabat Mater\, composed for St Peter’s Singers’ 20th anniversary in 1997. \n\n\n\nPhilip Moore’s music is represented by his haunting anthem All wisdom cometh from the Lord\, by his rumbustious setting of the text Tu es Petrus (‘You are Peter\, and on this rock I will build my church’)\, composed for the 40th anniversary of St Peter’s Singers in 2017\, and finally by From earth to heaven. This was commissioned by Leeds Parish Church in 1997 for the dedication of the magnificent Sally Scott window that depicts Jacob’s Ladder over the entrance to the Minster’s Nave – we are thrilled to welcome the University of York Brass Ensemble and the choir of Abbey Grange Academy to join us in this fabulous work. \n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers \n\n\n\nUniversity of York Brass Ensemble \n\n\n\nChoir of Abbey Grange Academy \n\n\n\nWilliam Campbell Organ \n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow Director

There’s a nod to the Queen’s Jubilee with two of Handel’s Coronation Anthems and Parry’s I was glad\, together with three of his beautiful Songs of Farewell. Rheinberger’s Abendlied (Evening Hymn) brings a more reflective mood\, while James Macmillan’s Lux aeterna allows us to briefly revisit our Songs of Solace recital last October and remember those lost in the pandemic. \n\n\n\nAfter an interval\, two of Poulenc’s short Motets take us briefly to the very different sound world of twentieth century French spiritual music\, before we switch to a more relaxed set of secular part songs\, including the well-known Linden Lea by Vaughan Williams and Stanford’s gorgeous The Blue Bird. This group finishes with Weaver Bird\, a short composition by our in-house duo poet Hannah Stone and composer Matthew Oglesby. \n\n\n\nWe finish\, fittingly for a choir with our name\, with two settings of the text Tu es Petrus (‘You are Peter’)\, one by the 16th century master Palestrina\, and the other composed for our 40th anniversary in 2017 by Philip Moore\, formerly Organist of York Minster.  \n\n\n\nAnthony Gray plays the organ and Alex Woodrow directs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHG3 5LQ

SUMMARY:Dolorosa
DESCRIPTION:Music for Good Friday \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeeds Minster \n\n\n\nGood Friday\, 15 April\, 7.00pm \n\n\n\nA programme of beautiful and deeply expressive Italian music composed for the time when the Christian church commemorates the death of Christ. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this chance to hear Allegri’s famous Miserere live! \n\n\n\nTickets £15\, Concessions £12\, (Free FTE / Under-18)  \n\n\n\nApproximate duration 75 minutes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\nCrucifixus est pro nobis Antonio LottiMiserere meiFrancesco ScarlattiMiserere mei   Gregorio AllegriStabat Mater dolorosa   Domenico Scarlatti \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSally Ladds cello \n\n\n\nGraham Thorpe organ \n\n\n\nSt Peter’s Singers \n\n\n\nAlexander Woodrow director \n\n\n\nOur ‘Music for Good Friday’ series resumes after the pandemic with a programme of Italian music including Allegri’s famous Miserere. \n\n\n\nThe Miserere is a setting of Psalm 51 – ‘Have mercy upon me O God after thy great goodness’. Although it properly belongs to the previous day\, its penitential nature makes it an entirely suitable response to the crucifixion of Christ. So the programme includes both the plainchant setting by Allegri and Francesco Scarlatti’s more elaborate version from the Baroque age.  \n\n\n\nThe medieval poem Stabat Mater Dolorosa (‘The grieving mother stood weeping while her son hung on the cross’) has been set to music countless times. This setting\, by Domenico Scarlatti\, exploits all the richness of expression afforded by ten vocal parts and is one of the classics of the Baroque period. \n\n\n\nThe programme is completed by Antonio Lotti’s famous 8-part setting of the text Crucifixus est prop nobis (‘He was crucified for us’). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeeds Minster – access\n\n\n\nPublic parking is available on the street and in the car park opposite the Palace Hotel at the eastern end of Leeds Minster. There is also a large NCP car park next to Leeds Markets on the other side of the railway\, and the John Lewis carpark slightly further away. \n\n\n\n\n\nItalian Renaissance and Baroque music for Good Friday
