Concert Information

A concert including two of Tavener’s most iconic choral works, The Lamb and Song for Athene, originally written for the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers and finding international fame when it added a searing intensity to the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997. The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers also perform two works inspired by composers Tavener admired, the London Premiere of Missa wellensis, quoting the music of Victoria, and Coplas, influenced by JS Bach. The choir is joined by organist Stephen Farr for what Tavener called a ‘divine allegory’ in Thunder entered her, based on poetry written by the 4th century St Ephrem. As part of the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Symphony Orchestra's Total Immersion day, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers remember the extraordinary man and his music with a concert of his finest choral music. The programme includes his tender hymn The Lamb, serene Song for Athene and the London premiere of his Missa brevis.
