Seven Last Words: Music for choir and orchestra

CITY CHAMBER CHOIR is delighted to be partnering with Covent Garden Chamber Orchestra once again, for a concert that runs the whole gamut of emotions. From Bach’s fabulous shout of joy, Singet dem Herrn and uplifting Brandenburg Concerto No3, via Palestrina’s contemplative Magnificat for double choir, to a dramatic and emotive work by the contemporary composer, Paul Carr, his Seven Last Words from the Cross. An apt work for Holy Week, that has moved audiences to tears, settings of Christ’s words are interspersed with other texts from, amongst others, the Good Friday Antiphon and Reproaches and in the third movement, a stunningly beautiful setting of Phineas Fletcher’s poem A Litany (Drop, drop, slow tears).
