Visitors are impressed in Riva del Garda with historic buildings and ancient traces of old Roman settlements as well as by imposing palaces and patrician villas that create a fascinating surrounding area for our Choral Workshop with Mozart’s Coronation Mass. The Coronation Mass in C major (KV 317) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was most probably composed for the Easter service of 1779 at the Salzburg Cathedral. Immediately after his death this church composition, which was probably Mozart’s most popular, became the preferred mass setting for services at imperial and royal coronations as well as at thanksgiving services. The festive symphonic elements and the clear separation of solo and choir voices are typical of this mass. Through its musical expressiveness it surpasses all other Salzburg masses. Conditions of participation: groups of at least 10 persons own choral scores (published by Breitkopf & Härtel) of Coronation Mass (W. A. Mozart) You can order it here some rough knowledge of the piece (e.g. having worked through it yourself or indeed having performed it on a previous occasion) commitment to attend all the rehearsals throughout the project phase For more information please visit: https://www.choral-workshops.com/ |

7.30pm St James's Sussex Gardens Sussex Gardens, London London W2 3UD United Kingdom Details: Web site £24, £20 | Bach - St John Passion Orlando Chamber Choir Lucy Goddard, director Ruairi Bowen, tenor (Evangelist) Gareth Brynmor John, baritone (Jesus) Jimmy Holliday, bass (Pilate) Clare Lloyd-Griffiths, soprano Kate Symonds-Joy, mezzo-soprano Sebastian Hill, tenor Musica Poetica Bach’s St John Passion combines the words of an ageing eyewitness of Jesus’ crucifixion, reflecting on what must have been the most influential event of his lifetime, with music by a deeply Lutheran composer to whom the Reformation will have given these words new urgency and depth. The narrative, taken from the German Luther Bible, is attributed to the apostle John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved”. Bach set his testimony to exquisite recitatives which our soloists will interpret for you, with regular interjections from the choir in the guise of various crowds. The stunning arias and reflective chorales, based on hymns familiar in Bach’s time, provide moral summaries of the events. With its colourful orchestral accompaniment, Bach’s St John Passion paints an expressive and immediate picture of Jesus’ last few days, conveying the anger, fear, resignation and joy in the various voices – and once again impressing and moving the listener with this timeless story of sacrifice and salvation. The chorus Ruht wohl, almost at the end of the passion, is famously hard to sing, not for technical but for emotional reasons. |
