This year we focus on the voices of the choir, accompanied by piano, two soloists and a violin.
The theme is time. Jonathan Dove’s “The Passing of the Year” uses poems from Emily Dickinson, William Blake and Alfred Tennyson to explore themes of time passing through the seasons and the years. It is for two choirs, so we are divided in two for this one!
Dale Trumbore’s “Stuck in the Middle” explores similar themes of life passing as we busy ourselves with our daily activities.
Mendelssohn’s beautiful Romantic-era Sechs Spruche (also in 2 choirs) is a collection of 6 short anthems for the key days in the church year.
JS Bach’s Wachet Auf (Awake! the voice calls to us) is perhaps his best known cantata. You will definitely recognise some of it!
Argo Pärt’s Spiegel I’m Spiegel has become a popular classic, a contemplative meditation for piano and violin.
