Next EventFeel the Spirit
John Rutter & Requiem Gabriel Faure Fauré’s Requiem is scored intimately and departs significantly from the standard liturgical text. The work includes the lyrical (and frequently sung as a solo) Pie Jesu and the transcendent In Paradisum, with its soaring vocal line and murmuring harp accompaniment. The prevailing mood is one of peacefulness and serenity, and the work has often been described, quite justly, as a Requiem without the Last Judgement. By contrast Rutter’s Feel the Spirit, a cycle of seven spirituals, featuring some wonderful Mezzo solo singing is vibrant, unique and classy and highly appealing. The ending just makes-you-want-to-jump-up-and-shout-“Yeah!” Soloists for the evening will be Isobel Rose, Soprano; Anna Burford, Mezzo Soprano; and Miles Taylor, Bass. Harrogate Choral Society will be accompanied by the Amici Ensemble and conducted by the HCS Music Director Andrew Padmore. |
