Very British 4.0

Description

English choral music from the 16th to the 21st century. Works by Henry Purcell, William Byrd, Edward Elgar, Charles V. Stanford, and others. Conducted by Bernhard Pfammatter. Organ: Hans Christoph Bünger. Vocal ensemble NOVANTIQUA Bern. Most of our concert program consists of music written for the Anglican Church of England. After the split from the Roman Church, some forms of the old liturgy were adopted, while others were further developed, such as the early evening Evensong, a mixture of Vespers and Compline, sung daily for half a millennium. These services each include the two hymns Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, which, alongside sung psalms and prayers, responses, motets, and congregational singing, form the framework of every Evensong. From the Tudor Renaissance to the present day, our program will feature composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Thomas T. Noble, Herbert Howells, Caroline Shaw, Henry Purcell, William Byrd, James MacMillan, Charles V. Stanford, Edward Elgar.
