City Chamber Choir

Covent Garden Chamber Orchestra

Stephen Jones conductor

Richard Pinel organ

Arthur Bruce baritone

City Chamber Choir is delighted to be partnering with Covent Garden Chamber Orchestra again, for a concert that runs the whole gamut of emotions. From Bach’s fabulous shout of joy, Singet dem Herrn via  Palestrina’s contemplative Magnificat for double choir, and  the uplifting Brandenburg Concerto No 3., to a dramatic and emotive work by the contemporary composer, Paul Carr, his Seven Last Words from the Cross. An apt work for Holy Week that has moved audiences to tears, settings of Christ’s words are interspersed with other texts from, amongst others, the Good Friday Antiphon and Reproaches and in the third movement, a stunningly beautiful setting of Phineas Fletcher's poem A Litany (Drop, drop, slow tears).

Programme: · J S Bach: Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied, BWV 225| Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, BWV 1048  · Palestrina: Magnificat primi toni à 8 · Paul Carr: Seven Last Words from the Cross
