Splendour
A celebration of choral music at its most joyous, Splendour will feature the mighty St Peter’s Cathedral organ, played by David Heah.
Polyphonic gems from the Renaissance by William Byrd and Hans Hassler sit alongside modern works by Eric Whitacre, Karl Jenkins, and Frank Ticheli. John Rutter’s energetic O Clap Your Hands and Australian composer Joseph Twist’s rhythmic, muscular Jubilate Deo provide the perfect foil for Whitacre’s expansive Her Sacred Spirit Soars, a work for double choir that takes the singers to the extremes of their tonal and dynamic ranges.
A very spiritual evening
