Come and sing
the Monteverdi Vespers The
Vivace Chorus invites you to join us for our fifth 'Come & Sing'
at
Normandy Village Hall.
Registration starts at
10:00am. Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers is one of the greatest works of the choral repertoire. In these days of authentic performances, where forces are so reduced in scale, opportunities to sing such works have become few and far between. Here is a rare chance to put that right and enjoy a day of the most brilliant and vivacious music! We will also sing Bob Chilcott’s ‘Salisbury Vespers’, based on the Monteverdi texts and structure. Bob’s exceptional work is exquisite and full of exuberance. Requirements to join the day are a love of singing and choral music, and £20! What you will receive in return is the hire of the scores, tea and/or coffee, homemade soup and a ploughman’s, the company of others who enjoy singing and a day of music led by our Music Director, Jeremy Backhouse. You can register online. Alternatively, a registration form to print and send is available here, or please contact Liz Durning on ComeAndSing@vivacechorus.org. |
