The University of Surrey’s Chamber Choir and Orchestra return to the URC Music Series with a programme of music to nurture the soul. Britten’s setting of Auden’s poem was written at the same time as his Ceremony of Carols, and shares the same wonderful music effects. The Hymn contrasts with the austere beauty of Stravinsky’s Mass and the extreme purity of Bach and Purcell.
This concert is one of the opening events of the 2013 Guildford International Music Festival.
Programme to include:
Britten Hymn to St Cecilia, Op 27 (Words by W H Auden)
Stravinsky Mass
Music by Bach and Purcell
