Programme Note
The major works in the concert are Mozart's Solemn Vespers, with its famous final chorus "Laudate Dominum", and his grand Coronation Mass, whose first recorded performance was at the Coronation of Francis II as Holy Roman Emperor. His virtuoso motet for solo soprano "Exsultate, Jubilate", and the ever-popular "Ave verum Corpus" complete the programme ... that is, aside from a rarity! "Beata es, Virgo Maria" is a short motet in four movements for chorus, soloists and orchestra, by Leopold Mozart, Father of Wolfgang.
The warm acoustics and candlelit atmosphere of St Mary's Church in Godmanchester provide a perfect backdrop for this concert.
