About this Event
Requiem and the Sorrowful Mother
Concert by The Canterbury Singers, directed by Jamie Rogers, with a team of fine local vocal soloists and Robin Walker (organ).
Programme features one of the best loved settings (and probably the first to use its composers selection of texts from, rather than the complete Latin mass) of the Requiem, that by Gabriel Fauré; also (in recognition of the season of Lent) Pergolesi's setting of Stabat Mater, originally for female voices and orchestra, here given in Desmond Ratcliffe's arrangement for mixed voices.
