Fanshawe: African Sanctus
The
choir performs the vibrant and exciting African Sanctus in the fitting
surrounding of the National Musicians' Church. This unorthodox setting of the
the Latin Mass is harmonised with traditional African music recorded by the
late David Fanshawe on his journeys up the River Nile and heard in counterpoint
with the live chorus, soprano soloist and instrumental ensemble.

Romantic German PartsongsProgramme to include music by Brahms, Mendelssohn,
Schumann, and others.
The recent centenaries of
Mendelssohn and Schumann have sparked a revival in and expansion of interest in
Romantic music, but still some of the choral music is relatively unknown. Here
is an opportunity to discover some magnificent, out-of-the-ordinary
repertoire.

'Thy Sweetest Song'Programme to include:
Leighton Hymn to
Matter
Rutter Hymn to the Creator of Light
Howells Even
Such is Time
Dove Seek Him that Maketh the
Seven Stars
Rubbra Lauda Sion
One of the reasons for the foundation of City Chamber Choir was
to explore neglected twentieth century British choral music. Here the choir
will be doing just that and revealing gems that you may not have heard. As the
text to Rubbra's Lauda Sion says: 'then be the anthem lear and strong,
thy fullest note, thy sweetest song'.
