The Glory and the Dream

17 October @ 7:30 pm - 9:45 pm

£1 – £21

The Glory and the Dream has as its centre piece Richard Rodney Bennett’s rarely heard evocative and imaginative setting of Wordsworth’s ‘Intimations of Immortality’. This famous and highly influential poem ponders the passage of time and how the joyous wonder of childhood passes over the years, and is beautiful, melancholy, and optimistic by turns. It features a virtuosic organ part which adds colour to the wonderfully lyrical choral writing. It is joined on the programme by Vivaldi’s much-loved Gloria which is full of Italian sun and timeless melodies, it’s multi-movement form including solos, duets, and full choruses. We also perform some motets by Henry Purcell, and Jonathan Dove’s Seek him that maketh the seven stars in what will be an inspiring and varied programme.
