European Sacred Music Dvorak’s Mass in D provides the centrepiece of this concert’s programme. It was commissioned by an architect friend of Dvorak, who wanted a new mass for the consecration of a chapel beside his castle in Luzany and is a piece suitable for a choir of modest forces. The choir also explores a wide range of sacred music, from different centuries and countries, including Allegri’s ‘Miserere’ and Lotti’s ‘Crucifixus’.

Mystery and Love provide the themes for our summer concert, with both meditative and playful texts. Ralph Vaughan Williams based his ‘5 Mystical Songs’, for baritone and chorus, on poems written by the 17th Century poet, George Herbert. Over 40 years later, Vaughan Williams set to music the poem ‘Silence and Music’, written by his wife Ursula. As a contrast, we explore some well-known madrigals and include contemporary settings of Robert Burns’ ‘A red, red rose’ and the traditional American folk song, ‘Shenandoah’
