Following our visit to St Paul's Cathedral in May 2023, the
Northampton Bach Choir are delighted to be singing at Southwark
Cathedral on a day where the Cathedral also hosts its Friends AGM.
The programme listed below is subject to confirmation. Our
programming for cathedral visits continues to be guided by bringing
things which are not regularly sung in the repertoire of cathedral
choirs where possible.
Over the 2022/23 season we are featuring music which expands the
canon, and in our Choral Evensong visits we sing the Magnificat and
Nunc Dimittis by mixed-race composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor
(1875-1912) who was born in Holborn (less than a mile from St Paul’s
Cathedral) and lived for most of his life in Croydon (which is in
the Diocese of Southwark). The anthem is a setting of Psalm 150 by
legendary Canadian composer and pianist Ruth Watson Henderson (b.
1932), and the Responses are by Humphrey Clucas (b. 1941), written
when the composer was an undergraduate and choral scholar at King’s
College, Cambridge.Programme:
