Mass For All Creatures

London Pro Musica Choir will combine with the choir of St. James Westminster Church to present this exciting choral work. The choirs will be supported by members of the award-winning Antler River Project.

Mass for All Creatures was originally commissioned in 1997 by St. Paul's Cathedral for a new church service celebrating the Feast of St. Francis. Written by London’s own Oliver Whitehead, this piece explores the diversity of the natural world and our relationship to it. The music is eclectic and contemporary with influences of folk and art music from across the globe. The texts are drawn from various sources such as the writings of the medieval visionaries St. Francis of Assisi and Meister Eckhart, 18th century romantic poet William Blake and the Bible.

“This will be a very moving, joyful and thought provoking evening of music, movement and readings, giving us an opportunity to consider the relationship between humans and animals and the natural world.” – Stephen Holowitz
