Programme Note
The University of Dundee Choir are delighted to give the first Scottish performance of Will Todd's latest work "Passion Music"
Passion Music continues the fusion of jazz and choral music so successfully blended in Mass in Blue. The structure highlights different points in the Passion story, beginning with a new setting of 'Greater love has no man' and including an evocative Stabat Mater, a movement focusing on the seven last words of Christ, and a setting of 'Were you there when they crucified my Lord?' Marion Jordan, will be returning to sing the solo part.
Belfast born talent Marion Jordan is an award winning classically trained mezzo-soprano, training both in Northern Ireland and Scotland. With many years' experience in concert, sacred and musical theatre work, she is an accomplished and highly regarded soloist regularly performing within Northern Ireland and further afield.
The Orchestra will perform 2 popular works - Mendelssohn's "War March of the Priests" and Schubert's Unfinished Symphony.
