Servant of Servant, Patron of the Arts | Chamber Choir Ireland

Gabriel Crouch conducts Chamber Choir Ireland and alumni of the CCI Studio in Servant of Servants, Patron of the Arts.

The concert combines Palestrina’s greatest mass with contemporary gems by Gavin Bryars and Ayanna Woods.

Named after Pope Marcellus and sung at Papal Coronations until the mid-20th Century, Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli is an epoch-defining masterpiece, said to have saved polyphonic music in the Catholic liturgy.

One of Gavin Bryars' major choral works, On Photography uses texts by Pope Leo XIII combining a modern subject matter (photography) and archaic language (Latin) with music of timeless beauty.

Ayanna Woods' The Golden Hour, conjures the perfect light for the photographer's art. The piece celebrates human connection and our connection to the natural world, evoking images of sunbeams.

Servant of Servant, Patron of the Arts will also be performed in , Belfast, and at .
