In 2021 the choirs will visit two cathedrals for the first time to
sing Choral Evensong - Southwell Minster and Lincoln Cathedral. This
visit to Lincoln will be their twelfth different cathedral visit
since 2011, and will feature the same programme as sung at Southwell
Minster just a few days earlier. The programme is principally drawn from their Spring 2021 programme of music by Haydn, Mozart, and their contemporaries. The Magnificat is sung to the rarely-heard setting dating from 1774. Based on the eighth mode it is vibrant and uplifting and matches well with the Nunc dimittis setting from 1784 by J. Michael Haydn. The music of J. Michael Haydn’s more famous older brother is heard in the anthem, the chorus The Heavens are telling from his 1798 oratorio The Creation. The Responses will be sung to one of our own Musical Director’s settings of the Preces and Responses, written for the Peterborough Diocesan Choral Festival in 2016, and - as is our custom - the Psalm will be sung to chants by composers with a connection to Lincoln. Please note that this proposed music list is subject to approval by the cathedral, which will be around Easter 2021. Programme:Northampton Bach Choir |
