Programme Note
Bexhill Choral Society presents Baroque Blockbusters; Mozart Masterpieces; Handel Highlights; Romantic Rambles; The Fantastic French; Gershwin Greats & Beatlemania
This concert has a range of superb music with something for everyone! It moves from favourite ‘classical’ items by composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart and Handel (including the Hallelujah Chorus) through pieces by Verdi, Elgar and Fauré to more recent classics such as Howard Goodall’s The Lord is My Shepherd. The concert finishes in style with three brilliant Beatles' songs and Gershwin Greats including the much-loved Summertime.
