Sydney Chamber Choir present the glorious
Renaissance and Romantic repertoire for voices and brass.
Conductor: Graham
Abbott
Guest artists: Amy Johansen (organ), New Holland Chamber Brass
Experience the
hushed awe of Gabrieli’s O magnum mysterium, the exultant joy of
Jubilate Deo
and the solemn splendour of Bruckner’s mighty motets. If you’ve tasted
the
rich, full flavours of this music before, you’ll be coming straight back
for
more. And if you’re new to this sublime choral sound, you’ll wonder why
you
didn’t start sooner! The music of
Gabrieli and Monteverdi shines with the same burnished gold as the mosaics of
St Mark’s Basilica in Venice, where it was first heard.Voices and brass combine
and recombine in multiple choirs answering each other from on high, like
choruses of angels singing for pure joy. When the visiting German composer
Heinrich Schütz heard this, he did what any musical genius would do: adopted it
and adapted it into his own writing! And Anton Bruckner, two centuries later,
wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity either.
