A VERY ENGLISH CONCERT 21 November, St Francis Church Bournville

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 glorious vocal dance: 'Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day’."
(Paul Spicer)

COME & SING Brahms’s German Requiem (in English)
The Birmingham Bach Choir hosts this informal and friendly singing workshop of Brahms's great choral work: The German Requiem at Selly Oak Methodist Church in Birmingham!

Together with members of the Birmingham Bach Choir you can be part of this rewarding afternoon of singing inspirationally led by Director of Music, Paul Spicer, and superbly accompanied by Paul Carr.

Brahms's great work uses scriptural texts focused on comforting the living and mourning the dead; the choral writing is massive, lush, and deeply emotional, featuring iconic movements such as "All flesh is as grass". The core message is universal peace and consolation, so how better could you spend an afternoon with both new and old friends in late January?
We will be singing the work in English; the afternoon's rehearsal starts at 2pm, is followed by tea and cakes, then a run through performance (which friends are most welcome to attend, for free)

Ticket price for singers (£25 plus small Eventbrite commission) includes music hire (even if you have your own we request we all sing from the same edition!). It includes tea, with our famous homemade cake selection.

There is plenty of free street parking in the area.

Don't miss this opportunity to raise your voice and make beautiful music together with the Birmingham Bach Choir!
See you there!
