The Glory of Baroque

Vivaldi, Handel and Bach

Part of the Concordia Chamber Choir 2018 Cycle

Add to my Calendar 24-11-2018 19:30 24-11-2018 21:30 36 The Glory of Baroque THE GLORY OF BAROQUE. All the magnificent music in Concordia’s autumn concert was composed within the span of only 20 years - in the astonishing flowering of European music in the early 18th century which we now call The Baroque.  Our programme especially celebrates the trio of composers whose work defines this golden era: Vivaldi, Handel and Bach. Our centrepiece will be Vivaldi’s Gloria, almost a ‘lost’ masterpiece till the mid-20th century, but now one of the most popular and revered works in the canon of sacred music. The genius of Handel will be represented by two contrasting pieces: Zadok The Priest, which never fails to take the breath away with its sweep and majesty and Ode For the Birthday Of Queen Anne, a secular cantata, part of which was sung at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex this summer. Last, but not least, we are delighted to welcome back our special guests The South Circular Orchestra, who will perform the 2nd of Bach’s much-loved Brandenburg Concertos. All Saints Church, London DD/MM/YYYY
