A programme of beautiful French music.
…. a perfect way to spend a summer evening. Let us transport you across the English Channel with no transport hassles for an evening of lovely French music in the heart of the English countryside! (Paul Spicer)

Debussy: Trois Chansons de Charles d’Orleans
Fauré: Cantique de Jean Racine
Fauré: Requiem

Also solo French organ pieces

More from Paul Spicer…
"At the heart of this programme are two heart-warming works by Gabriel Fauré, whose Requiem is one of the most deeply-felt choral works of the last century and a quarter. It has deservedly become one of the most popular pillars of the choral repertoire. Debussy’s impressionistic language makes his only unaccompanied choral work, the Trois Chansons de Charles d’Orleans, achingly memorable. Finally, Francis Poulenc gives us his unique take on French folksong in his beautifully crafted eight Chansons Françaises."

In addition the programme incudes the premiere of a short piece by Russell Hepplewhite: Song of Flight - part of a nation-wide project to premiere 12 new pieces collectively titled Living Voices (available to hear later in the summer on YouTube)
