2020 Spring Concert
Nelson Mass - Joseph Haydn
The Nelson Mass ('Mass In Time Of Fear') is arguably Haydn's most dramatic and exciting mass - famous for its striking scoring, fine fugal writing and the thrilling syncopated 'amens' building to a shattering climax.

Mass in G - Franz Schubert
By far his most well‐known and frequently performed sacred work today is his second mass, the Mass in G Major, which he composed in less than a week in March of 1815. It is a relatively small-scale work accompanied strings and organ. It is musically also relatively simple, but fresh and bright and cheeky with plenty of tunes and panache. |

Gloria - Karl Jenkins
Gloria is high on drama, with Jenkins' predilection for the sounds of ethnic and Third World cultures very much in evidence. The third movement in particular, a setting of Psalm 150, brings to mind his ever-popular Adiemus, with its primeval-sounding harmonies, declamatory choral style and pounding drummed rhythms. 
This is music that engages, whips up and then soothes the listener. Gloria will probably keep Jenkins at the top of most-performed polls for some time to come. |
