Britain's What's On Event Guide
Autumn Concert by the South London Singers
The South London Singers welcome you to our first concert of the season which will be conducted by Nicholas Wibberley and accompanied by Jack Stone on the organ. The main work is Maurice Duruflé's Requiem. A peaceful work based heavily upon the Plainchant which was a mainstay of French church music at the time, this was completed in 1947 and will be performed tonight in the original version with organ accompaniment. Though less frequently performed than Gabriel Faure's Requiem, it has seen more interest in more recent years and is well worth hearing whether you are familiar with it or new to it.
The S.L.S. will also perform George Dyson's Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in F, a work definitely in the English Church tradition of his teachers Parry and Stanford and, finally, a setting of the devotional prayer ‘Anima Christi, sanctifica me’ ('Soul of Christ sanctify me') by local composer and Friend of the S.L.S. Roger Wibberley.
