Summer School Choir – Rameau, Bach & Handel

Summer School Choir, directed by Robert Hollingworth

Rameau – in Convertendo
Bach – ‘Kyrie’ and ‘Gloria’ from ‘Lutheran Mass in F major’
Schütz – Die Himmel erzaehlen
Schein – Da Jakob vollendet hatte
Handel – Ode on the Birthday of Queen Anne

Robert has picked some of his absolutely favourite choral music.  Bach Lutheran Mass in F is a hunting romp disguised as sacred music while Handel’s – containing ‘Eternal source of light divine’ – has plenty of the dance too.  Add two brilliant early baroque miniatures and a whiff of the French, and hey presto, a thrilling vocal week.

Details regarding music editions will be sent in advance to those registering for the course.
