Samuel Sebastian Wesley - Blessed be the God and father
Leonard Bernstein - Chichester Psalms
2010 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Sebastian Wesley. Music was in his blood, as was religion (his great uncle was the founder of Methodism). A child prodigy, he became one of the greatest composers in the English cathedral tradition. This concert celebrates his achievement including one of his most famous anthems, Blessed be the God and Father, which was written for Hereford, Because of the particular circumstances ‘only Trebles and a single Bass voice’ were available.
Chichester Psalms, with its Hebrew text, is one of the most challenging works in the entire choral repertoire as well as being one of the most affirmative and serene.
