Vaughan Williams DONA NOBIS PACEM
Bernstein CHICHESTER PSALMS
Copland APPALACHIAN SPRING
Experience the region’s leading,
large classical choir, with full symphony orchestra, performing an invigorating
programme of 20th century British and American choral and orchestral
classics this November.
Thrill to the huge scale and
intense drama of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s 1936 cantata Dona Nobis Pacem
(“Give us peace”) – an impassioned plea for peace and understanding instead of
war. Powerful and hopeful, this choral work’s rich harmonisation and heartfelt Walt
Whitman verse remain relevant today.
Echoing those same sentiments of
peace is Leonard Bernstein’s exciting 1965 choral masterpiece, Chichester
Psalms – a triumphant blend of Hebrew text, vibrant melodies and syncopated
rhythms.
The concert also features a true
orchestral treat – Aaron Copland’s invigorating 1944 ballet Appalachian Spring,
evoking a joyful young American Pioneer couple as they prepare for their
wedding day.
Accompanying Worcester Festival
Choral Society are acclaimed soloists and the superb Meridian Sinfonia symphony
orchestra, all under the baton of Worcester Cathedral's director of music
Samuel Hudson.
So come and enjoy an evening of music that will stay long in the memory and the heart!
