Programme Note

Two much-loved classics of the choral repertoire, sung in the splendid surroundings of Lichfield Cathedral.

 The requiem, written in Brahms' native German, using words from Luther's translation of the Bible, seeks to bring comfort to those who mourn. We will be using Brahms' own accompaniment for two pianists. 

Finzi's anthem is a lively and beautiful celebration of the Eucharist.
