Description
The chorus and orchestra will perform John Rutter’s Gloria!, in celebration of Rutter’s 80th birthday, as well as additional works by Vaughan Williams, Finzi, Bernstein, and Britten.
Rutter’s Gloria!, with its rousing rhythms, was his first big “hit” for chorus and orchestra. We will have an excellent brass section to do full justice to this irresistible music. Also on the program are works by three other British composers – Gerald Finzi’s In Terra Pax, full of rich and striking harmonies. Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on Christmas Carols and selected movements of Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols. The final movements of Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms conclude with this fervent hope: “Behold how good, and how pleasant it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity.” Such a timely and moving message.
