Saturday 21 November 6pm
A VERY ENGLISH CONCERT
St Francis Church, Bournville

Paul Spicer conducts Birmingham Bach Choir:

Holst - Tomorrow Shall be My Dancing Day
Parry - Songs of Farewell
Vaughan Williams - Mass in G Minor

Conductor: Paul Spicer
Organ: Martyn Rawles

"This concert will be a memorable and moving experience for choir and audience alike.
Three titans of the British musical scene in the early 20th century fill this programme: Hubert Parry, Vaughan Williams, and Holst. The two major works are absolute classics of the choral repertory: Parry’s powerful 'Songs of Farewell' and Vaughan Williams’s beautiful 'Mass in G minor.' The whole programme essentially uses two choirs, and the Vaughan Williams adds four soloists to this, creating a rich tapestry of choral sound. Parry’s amazing partsongs have some of the most moving music to be written at this time. To these major works we add : Holst’s gloriously upbeat 'Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day’."
