Programme Note
The Burford Singers present two choral masterpieces, comprising some of the most commonly heard liturgical texts. Vivaldi's evergreen setting from the Ordinary of the Mass, and John Rutter's sparkling setting of the Song of Mary, as commonly heard in evensong come together for an evening of celebration and song as the nights are drawing in. Connecting these two works is 'Albinioni's' Adagio for Strings and Organ. Whilst it might appear to be a work from the 18th Century, it's an arrangement of a bass line by Albinoni by his 20th Century biographer, Giazotto.
Do join us for a wonderful evening of music in one of Britain's architectural gems.
