A Rose Without Thorns

Pinsuti Chamber Choir

Add to my Calendar 24-03-2017 19:30 24-03-2017 21:30 36 A Rose Without Thorns Pinsuti, the Ilkley and Skipton chamber choir conducted by Robert Webb, invite you to a concert featuring a miscellany of marvellous works on a dual theme. As a centrepiece to the concert, Brahms’ complex motet ‘Warum ist das Licht gegeben…?’, moves optimistically from existential angst to calm acceptance. Either side of this, Mary is addressed in Latin in Palestrina’s ‘Stabat mater’, Taverner’s ‘Mater Chrsiti sanctissima’, and ‘Ave Maria’ by Bruckner and, in Church Slavonic, in Rachmaninoff’s ‘Bogoroditsye Dyevo‘. The second strand in the concert consists of song cycles by two contemporary composers. Mealor’s ‘Now sleeps the crimson petal’ and Lauridsen’s ‘Les chansons des roses’ contemplate the rose and its imagery. These are joined by Tchaikovsky’s  ‘Legend‘, a ‘song for children’ which foreshadows the Easter story, also titled ‘The Crown of Roses’. We hope you will once more fill Hetton Methodist Church and enjoy this varied selection of music from the 16th to the 21st centuries! Hetton Methodist Church, Skipton DD/MM/YYYY
