First Season's Repertoire
From the Known to the Unknown
This season's music will contain some jewels of the choral repertoire, many now sadly neglected but all worthy of revisiting.
Rheinberger's large output of Choral music is largely now in disuse. We reverse this by bringing his Stabat Mater back to life, full of melodious music - something it shares with the exquisite Messe di Basse by Faure.
The magnificent Burial Sentences by William Croft will take their place alongside the Gibbons Cries of London, the probably unknown jewel by Robert Johnson, Queen Anne Boleyn's Lament, and Randall Thompson's Last Words of David to frame the major work for 2010 which will be the Requiem in C minor by Cherubini, performed in his anniversary year.
Amongst these pieces will be more familiar works by the same composers - hence from the known to the unknown!
