ERCU starts its new season with three powerful works.Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem offers hope and solace: it is one of those special works that singers return to with as much delight as audiences do, a unique masterpiece expressing the universal longings of mankind.
Dona Nobis Pacem, by Scottish composer Ronald Center (1913–73), is an impassioned plea for peace. Center, an accomplished pianist and organist, taught music in Aberdeenshire before devoting himself to composition and private tuition. Many of his works have been broadcast and recorded; Dona Nobis Pacem is immensely beautiful, original and moving.
We mark the centenary year of the death of the great choral composer Charles Villiers Stanford with For lo, I raise up, his most dramatic anthem, written during World War 1.
In a special arrangement for chamber orchestra by Iain Farrington.
Morley Whitehead - Organ
Anna Michels - Piano
Sophie Bysouth - Soprano
Caspian Plummer - Baritone
Edinburgh Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra
