Programme Note
Full of drama and energy amidst inspirational surroundings, Ireland’s pictorial depiction, enshrining the composer's love for the Downs, is followed by Gjeilo’s The Ground based on a chorale from the last movement of his popular Sunrise Mass conveying images of peace and strength. Vaughan Williams’ ever popular and much-loved Five Mystical Songs concludes the first half. Duruflé’s powerful Requiembrings this stunning programme to fitting climax.
