SUMMARY:Midwinter Songs
DESCRIPTION:Choral and Solo Song with Piano from the American 20th Century\, including music by Morten Lauridsen\, Samuel Barber\, Aaron Copland and Randall Thompson \nTom Williams Director \nNick Scott-Burt Piano \nMorten Lauridsen’s five settings of the English poet and historical novelist Robert Graves\, provide a striking and varied musical commentary on love and loss. Originally scored for piano and choral voices\, Lauridsen later orchestrated the movements. It is his earlier and more intimate version that we use as the basis for our programme of 20th Century American music\, performed in the 250th anniversary year of American Independence. In addition to the Midwinter Songs\, we will also sing Lauridsen’s iconic setting of O magnum mysterium and music by American greats Aaron Copland\, Samuel Barber and Randall Thompson. An aptly reflective programme for the concert date in question. \nTickets: £15 Full £12 Friends £10 U19 £5 U13 on the door and from Ticketsource \n

SUMMARY:Lamentations
DESCRIPTION:Choral Songs of Lamentation from the Renaissance to the Modern Age including music by Thomas Tallis\, Dominique Phinot\, Rudolf Mauersberger and Edward Bairstow  \nTom Williams Director \nNick Scott-Burt Organ \nThe Lamentations of Jeremiah have proved a most poignantly fruitful text for composers throughout the history of choral music. In this concert\, punctuated by inventive and expressive organ improvisation from Nick Scott-Burt\, we present two classic interpretations of this great biblical text by Thomas Tallis and Edward Bairstow\, as well as a couple of lesser-known responses from Franco-Flemish composer Dominique Phinot and former conductor of the Dresdener Kreuzchor\, Rudolf Mauersberger. The latter’s response to the destruction of his home city in the Second World War\, the motet Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst\, is one of the most profound settings of the Lamentation text in whole musical canon. Beautiful polyphony combined with thought-provoking themes to stir and soothe the soul in equal measure. \nTickets: £15 Full £12 Friends £10 U19 £5 U13 on the door or from Ticketsource

SUMMARY:Transports of Delight!
DESCRIPTION:An eclectic programme of Lyrical Pop\, Tudor madrigals\, Victoriana\, Modes of limited transposition\, Country and Western and Folk Song Arrangements \nTom Williams Director \nNick Scott-Burt Piano & Organ \nQuite the most eclectic and far-reaching programme we have ever performed\, ranging from Thomas Weelkes startling madrigal Thule the period of cosmography\, through Granville Bantock’s evocative realisation of William Turner’s famous painting on oil of The Fighting Temeraire\, to The Divine Comedy’s wonderful late nineties pop song National Express and much\, much more besides. Come and enjoy a veritable cornucopia of musical surprises\, all connected with journeys (such as that of the Three Magi) and various forms of transport: planes\, trains\, plenty of automobiles\, boats\, chariots and yes\, even a couple of songs about the good old British Omnibus. Hopefully a lot of fun and a chance to see Chorale in a guise you never have before – almost! \nTickets: £15 Full £12 Friends £10 U19 £5 U13 on the door and from Ticketsource
