Programme Note
Duruflé’s Requiem, where Gregorian chant meets the sumptuous sounds of 20th-century France. This piece, loved by singers and audiences alike, is brought to life by Vivace Chorus alongside professional soloists, an organist and a cellist. The intimate atmosphere of Holy Trinity Church in Guildford’s historic High Street is the perfect venue to convey the wonder and power of this contemplative music.
