About the event
We will be performing with City Chamber Choir and other guest instrumentalists.
Works to include:
McDowall: Five Seasons
Radiohead: Pyramid Song
Whitacre: Five Hebrew Love Songs
Gjeilo: The Rose, Dark & Luminous night
Roth: Dawn Chorus
From the awakening light of Roth’s Dawn Chorus, alive with the vibrant stir of birdsong, this programme moves through the mysteries and universal patterns of everyday life. Gjeilo’s Dark and Luminous Night depicts the wonders of night, while Radiohead’s magical Pyramid Song reflects on death, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of existence.
At the heart of the programme lies Cecilia McDowall’s Five Seasons, a highly original and wonderfully evocative hymn to the rural British landscape and our farmers, whose unceasing labour feeds us and cares for the health and beauty of our Isles.
Gjeilo’s rich setting of Rossetti’s The Rose captures the poem’s bittersweet tone, while Whitacre’s Five Hebrew Love Songs captures treasured moments shared with his wife.
