LENTEN MUSIC FOR CHOIR AND BRASS

The Collegiate Church of the Holy Cross and the Mother of Him who hung thereon, Crediton, Devon
Saturday, 19th April 2008, 7.30pm

    

For our Spring concert we are very pleased to be back at the wonderful parish church in Crediton and to be joined by the exciting sound of a brass sextet, led by Brian Moore.

Our programme focuses on the sacred seasons of Lent, Easter and Ascension. We present music which reflects many emotions including the fear of death (in Poulenc’s Lenten Motets), the ultimate acceptance of it (in Bach’s Komm Jesu, Komm) and wonder at Christ’s incarnation, sacrifice and ascension (in pieces by Gabrieli, Messiaen, Bruckner, Philips and Finzi) all within a framework of musical praise and infectious joy (from Gabrieli, Gibbons and Schütz)!
