Sydney Chamber Choir's first
concert of 2010 delivers a luscious mix of music from the 16th century to the
present day.
Conductor: Paul Stanhope
Guest artists: Ironwood
Mystic
minimalist Arvo Pärt celebrates his 75th birthday in 2010 – not that anyone
should need an excuse to perform such breathtakingly beautiful music!
‘Tintinnabulation’ is the technical name, but the technique, inspired by the
clear, pure sound of ringing bells, offers a listening experience unlike any
other. It may be Sydney outside, but in Verbrugghen Hall, you will be far away
in a place of uttermost calm.
The program
also features the Australian premiere of Scotsman James MacMillan’s Tenebrae
Responsories, inspired by the strikingly dramatic harmonies of Renaissance
master Carlo Gesualdo. And then it seemed only fair to let Gesualdo speak for
himself… ARVO PÄRT: Berlin
Mass
CARLO GESUALDO:
Selections from the Tenebrae Responsories for Easter Saturday
JAMES
MACMILLAN: Tenebrae Responsories – selections (Australian premiere)
JOSEPH HAYDN: Consummatum
Est from The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross
