OUR NEXT CONCERT!

The hour long programme for this concert is based around settings by the Italian Renaissance composer Palestrina of the Old Testament book of Lamentations. The text of Lamentations has inspired many composers over the centuries and Palestrina wrote four sets to be sung liturgically during Holy Week.

Lamentations also supplies the text for one of the three pieces in the programme by the Spanish composer Victoria. Two eighteenth century composers from France, Charpentier and Clerembault, are represented with music suitable for Maundy Thursday and a Miserere. Also included is the first movement from Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater and poetry by William Blake and George Herbert.

The concert is in aid of Holy Trinity Church. 

Tickets are £13 with a free programme. Schoolchildren are £5.

Do take this opportunity to come and hear lovely music and singing as Cantilena follows its acclaimed Pilgrimage programmes with a reflection on the Passion.
