SUMMARY:Winter Concert entitled The Private Music
DESCRIPTION:Winter Concert with Somerset Chamber ChoirWe are thrilled that our Patron\, Dame Emma Kirkby\, will join us for this concert\, to perform a small selection of works from the golden age of English Lute Song. \nProgramme to include: \nBYRD Four-Part Mass\nTALLIS Lamentations of Jeremiah I\nDOWLAND Lute Songs \nEmma Kirkby soprano\nAndrea Brown conductor \nThe Private Music… by composers writing in circumstances of exile – some forced to leave Protestant England for their Catholicism\, some obliged through fear to write music for secret ceremony\, others removed from meaningful positions and effectively exiled in their own homes. \nThis will be the choir’s first concert in the Minster since 1992 and we are very excited to return to such a beautiful building right in the centre of Taunton. For her first concert directing the choir\, Andrea has chosen Renaissance music of singular beauty which is sure to transport the audience to a place of utter calm and tranquillity. \nTickets will go on sale towards the end of this year; Friends of the Choir will enjoy a priority booking period for this concert as usual\, and tickets will be available to the public shortly after that – full details of where and how to buy tickets will be shown here soon. But before tickets go on sale\, you can register your interest in buying tickets by emailing us now through the Contact page here\, then we will contact you after public booking has opened.\nIf you would like to be kept informed of booking dates for this and all future concerts\, please subscribe to our e-mailing list using the form on the Home page\, and for more information about the Friends Scheme\, please click here.

SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir Christmas Concert – Tidings of Great Joy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this uplifting concert in celebration of Advent! \nThe renowned organist Shean Bowers and Jean Kelly\, one of the UK’s most gifted professional harpists\, perform solos as well as accompanying the choir in this concert of beautiful seasonal music.\, an enchanting mix of favourite melodies from across the centuries. From Renaissance polyphony by Victoria\, through to modern-day classics by Carl Rütti and Bob Chilcott\, and a beguiling arrangement of The Angel Gabriel by Stephen Paulus\, these are just a few of the musical gifts on offer\, so we hope there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

She has played harp on several fil scores including The Lord of the Rings and We need to talk about Kevin\, scored for solo harp by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. Jean specialises in classical\, folk\, medieval and wire-strung harps and will be playing a number of these instruments in the concert. \nProgramme Details \nThe Angel Gabriel – Graham Fitkin\nGabriel’s Message – Stephen Paulus\nTocatta on Veni Emmanuel – Adolphus Hailstork\nRejoice in the Lord always – Anon (C16th)\nO magnum mysterium – Tomás Luis de Victoria\nWhat sweeter music – John Rutter\nO come\, O come\, Immanuel – John Rutter\nUkranian Prayer – John Rutter\nI wonder as I wander – Carl Rütti\nMy Dancing Day – Carl Rütti\nInterval\nAngelus ad virginem – arr.

SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir - Mozart Mass in C minor
DESCRIPTION:In our Summer 2022 concert in Wells (postponed from 2020 due to COVID)\, we will perform Mozart’s Mass in C minor\, a piece that many critics regard as Mozart’s masterpiece in the field of religious composition\, and which has a breadth of scale and a grandeur that recalls the great baroque choral masterpieces of Bach and Handel. We are also excited to be performing one of Mendelssohn’s five great Psalms for choir and orchestra\, music that is less often performed than the Mozart Mass\, but which nevertheless echoes its majestic splendour. Also included is Haydn’s orchestral depiction\, so ahead of its time\, of the imagined chaos before the creation\, a moment in time that we hope to echo in two movements from the ‘transparent and spacey’ Sunrise Mass by the popular Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. We will be joined by Southern Sinfonia\, one of the most distinctive chamber ensembles currently operating in the UK\, and an exceptional line-up of young soloists. \nMOZART Mass in C Minor\nOLA GJEILO The Spheres; Identity & The Ground (from Sunrise Mass)\nHAYDN Representation of Chaos (from The Creation)\nMENDELSSOHN Psalm 95 \nKatie Trethewey soprano\nRhiannon Llewellyn soprano\nAndrew Henley tenor\nAngus McPhee baritone \nSouthern Sinfonia \nRichard Laing conductor

SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir – The Poets Inspire
DESCRIPTION:Somerset Chamber Choir under Conductor Richard Laing\nVAUGHAN WILLIAMS The Lark Ascending (violin & piano)\nMacCUNN The Wreck of the Hesperus\nSTANFORD The Princess\nSTEPHEN PAULUS The Day is Done\nERIC WHITACRE I will wade out\nELGAR Spanish Serenade\nRICHARD DANIELPOUR As Night Falls on Barjeantane (violin & piano) \nShulah Oliver violin \nRichard Laing violin/conductor \nTurn-of-the-20th & 21st-century masterpieces from the British Isles and America\, inspired by classic poetry. \nAlong with Elgar’s delightful Spanish Serenade\, this concert offers a rare opportunity to hear Hamish MacCunn’s dramatic portrayal of Longfellow’s Wreck of the Hesperus\, and Stanford’s unjustly neglected but beautiful setting of Tennyson’s The Princess. There is also an unusual chance to hear Vaughan Williams’ iconic masterpiece The Lark Ascending\, inspired by George Meredith’s poem of the same name\, in the original setting for violin and piano. Three instant classics from the 21st Century\, including settings of Longfellow and e e cummings\, will complete what we hope will be an afternoon to inspire us all.

SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir - The Poets Inspire
DESCRIPTION:Turn-of-the-20th & 21st-century masterpieces from the British Isles and America\, inspired by classic poetry. \nAlong with Elgar’s delightful Spanish Serenade\, this concert offers a rare opportunity to hear Hamish MacCunn’s dramatic portrayal of Longfellow’s Wreck of the Hesperus\, and Stanford’s unjustly neglected but beautiful setting of Tennyson’s The Princess. There is also an unusual chance to hear Vaughan Williams’ iconic masterpiece The Lark Ascending\, inspired by George Meredith’s poem of the same name\, in the original setting for violin and piano.

SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir Concert - Rachmaninov All-night Vigil (Vespers)
DESCRIPTION:Somerset Chamber Choir\nRichard Laing – Conductor/Violin\nAnita D’Attellis – Piano \nA candlelit performance of hauntingly beautiful settings of the Russian Orthodox liturgy\, with evocative poetry and timeless classics for violin and piano\, enhanced by projected iconography and lighting. \nArguably the greatest choral music ever written by a Russian and one of the finest choral works in the entire repertoire\, Sergei Rachmaninov’s All-night Vigil (Vespers) is a tour-de-force of stunning virtuosity and extreme pathos. Featuring 15 exquisite sections corresponding to the sequence of the Russian Orthodox liturgy\, the All-night Vigil divides the choir into 11 vocal parts and features some of the lowest bass parts ever written. \nThis candlelit performance of Rachmaninov’s setting of the Russian Orthodox all-night liturgical sequence of Vespers\, Matins and First Hour will be immensely atmospheric occasion enhanced with iconography and coloured lighting projected onto the stark white walls of the chapel. It promises to be a treat both for eyes as well as ears! \nInterspersed throughout the concert will be evocative poetry readings to complement the Russian Orthodox theme\, together with three achingly beautiful arrangements of timeless classics for violin and piano – Rachmaninov’s 18th variation from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\, Vocalise and Prayer from Piano Concerto No.2 – each of which has the power to inspire refection on sacred Russian texts. \nProgramme Details – Rachmaninov All-night Vigil (Vespers) \n• All-night Vigil (Vespers) – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)\n• Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\, Op. 43 – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)\n• Vocalise – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)\n• Prayer – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) \nTickets: £18\, 15\, (reserved)\, & £11 (unreserved).

SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir Concert - Paradisi Gloria
DESCRIPTION:Programme Details – Paradisi Gloria! \n\nStabat Mater – Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1787)\nSalve Regina In F minor – Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725)\nTrumpet Concerto – Giuseppi Tartini (1692-1770)\n\nInterval\n\n\nGloria in D RV589 – Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (1678-1741)\n\nThe early eighteenth century was a golden age for music in the courts and cathedrals of Rome\, Naples and Venice\, which would never again be equaled. Venice\, in particular\, was a hotbed of creativity. This was the city where Vivaldiand Scarlatti lived close by Canaletto\, amidst the canals which had recently been navigated by Gabrieli and Monteverdi\, Bellini\, Tintoretto and Veronese. \nThe four works in our summer concert were all written within a single decade by Italian composers at the height of their powers\, and yet each is as different from the other as the works of Brahms and Wagner. Vivaldi’s famous Gloria\, one of the most popular of all choral works\, is deceptively simple\, written for just two soloists and four choral parts\, while the astonishing Stabat Mater by Domenico Scarlatti is composed for ten different voices\, ensuring a richness of sonority which few other composers have attempted. Completing our programme will be the short\, but perfectly-formed Trumpet Concerto by Tartiniand a gorgeous Salve Regina by the young Scarlatti’s father\, Alessandro Scarlatti\, which features our two vocal soloists – the young American soprano April Fredrick and baroque specialist mezzo-soprano Cathy Bell. \nFor  this very special evening we will be joined by Southern Sinfonia and trumpeter Steve Leein the generous acoustic of Wells Cathedral. Let us whisk you away to experience the glories of Italy\, without the check-in queues and eye-watering prices. Reserve your ticket now! \nTickets: £25\, £20\, (nave reserved)\, £15 & £10 (front/rear side aisles unreserved). Children/students half-price.

SUMMARY:Concert by Somerset Chamber Choir - A Musical Epiphany
DESCRIPTION:Somerset Chamber Choir \nHelen Lunt ‘cello\nRichard Pearce organ\nGraham Caldbeck conductor \nA Musical Epiphany \nBeautiful seasonal music performed by CandlelightMusic by: Palestrina\, Parsons\, H. Praetorius\, Dering\, Scheidt\, Byrd\, Sweelinck\, Weelkes\, Cornelius\, Warlock\, Howells\, Poulenc\, Edmundson\, Mathias\, Bennett\, Will Todd & Ola Gjeilo \nOur New Year concert will be held on the day following the Feast of the Epiphany – that time of year which marks the visit of the Three Wise Men (or Magi\, or Kings) to honour the baby Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem. \nInstead of gifts of gold\, frankincense and myrrh\, we shall present a fascinatingly rich and varied programme of seasonal music\, stretching from the 16th & 17th centuries to the present day – with old favourites to be enjoyed and some exciting new and unfamiliar music to be discovered. \nMusic from these shores forms the core of the programme\, but music from France\, Germany\, Holland\, Italy\, Norway and Canada is also included\, thereby making the evening a truly international celebration. \nOne of our sopranos\, Helen Lunt\, will leave the ranks for one piece to perform with the choir on the ‘cello; and we are again joined by our regular virtuoso organist\, Richard Pearce. There will be several opportunities for the audience to join in with the singing\, too. For everyone present we hope that this event will truly prove to be A Musical Epiphany. \nTickets £18; £15; £11 from Taunton Visitor Centre Market House\, Fore St\, Taunton TA1 1JD
