Hymn of Praise

Part of the Three Choirs Festival 2018

Add to my Calendar 01-08-2018 19:45 01-08-2018 21:45 36 Hymn of Praise “All that has breath, praise the Lord!” We continue our annual sequence of Mendelssohn’s large-scale choral works with his answer to Beethoven’s Choral Symphony: a majestic expression of joy in mankind’s progression from darkness to enlightenment. One of Mendelssohn’s most popular works within his own lifetime but now rarely performed, the piece bursts with jubilant melodies and rich harmonies. Bruckner’s mighty Te Deum, a piece which the composer called “the pride of his life”, opens with the choir singing in blazing unison. Hereford Cathedral, Hereford DD/MM/YYYY
