Top of the bill on the evening will be a performance of Gabriel Faur\u00e9\u2019s famous Requiem in D minor<\/em> to a score edited by John Rutter.  Written by the composer as a musical tribute to his deceased father, the work comprises some of the most beautiful melodies that Faur\u00e9 ever wrote.  Of all seven sections, the Pie Jesu<\/em>, Agnus Dei<\/em> and In Paradisum<\/em> emerge as the most glorious refrains of the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accompany the Requiem<\/em>, the evening\u2019s repertoire will also include such delights as\u00a0The Heavens Are Telling<\/em>\u00a0from Haydn\u2019s oratorio\u00a0The Creation<\/em>, Verdi\u2019s famous\u00a0Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves<\/em> and a bit of Handel\u2019s Messiah<\/em> for good measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day, Chordiality is delighted to be joined again by the National Festival Orchestra, under their leader Sally Robinson.  The National Festival Orchestra Strings previously performed with Chordiality two years ago again at Bradford Cathedral in a concert to celebrate the choir\u2019s 30th anniversary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the concert, both choir and orchestra will be under the baton of Chordiality\u2019s Music Director Peter Sherlock who is delighted to be taking the singers back to the Cathedral for what will be another marvellous occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Cathedral has superb acoustics and the sound that resonates within this building will add a significant dimension to a choral piece as sublime and beautiful as the Faur\u00e9 Requiem<\/em>,\u201d said Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to have obtained the services of the excellent and much in demand National Festival Orchestra and that we will also be joined by Graham Thorpe, the Cathedral\u2019s Organist and Director of Music.  Together, choir, orchestra and organ will make for a substantial and enjoyable evening of some of the greatest choral music ever composed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
