Haydn Nelson Mass Concert
Advertisement
Phoenix Choir of Crawley invite you to our concert on Saturday 5th July starting, 7.30pm at St Wilfrid’s Catholic School, off Old Horsham Road, Southgate, Crawley RH11 8PG. With our professional orchestra The Phoenix Sinfonia and four fabulous professional soloists, the choir will perform Haydn’s 'Nelson Mass'. Originally called the 'Missa in Angustiis' (A Mass for Troubled Times), Mass No.11 in D Minor is Haydn's largest mass, and one of his most well-known and beloved choral works. The mass is distinctive in the way that the solo and ensemble sections are closely integrated, rather than the usual separation of aria and chorus.
Our soprano soloist, Caroline Taylor, has a particularly demanding role in the Mass. The other three soloists feature in the Mass and will each perform an additional solo. Mezzo-soprano Kate Symonds-Joy will sing 'Deh! per questo istante solo' (Oh! just for this moment only) from the opera 'La Clemenza di Tito' (The Clemency of Tito) by Mozart, baritone Richard Bannan will sing 'Deh, vieni alla finestr'a (Oh, come to the window) from Mozart’s 'Don Giovanni' and tenor Gregg Tassell will sing the cavatina 'Distressful nature fainting sinks' from Haydn’s oratorio 'The Seasons'.
The choir and orchestra will perform an English translation of Brahms’ 'Schicksalslied' (A Song of Destiny), which has similarities to the composer’s earlier 'German Requiem', and the choir will also sing the beautiful 'Ave verum corpus' by Mozart.
Sound samples and more about our soloists can be found on the annferrierartists.com website.
We are delighted to return for this concert to St Wilfrid’s School, a modern, accessible venue with on site parking. During the interval refreshments will be available, wine at £2 for 100ml or soft drinks for £1, payable by cash or card.
Tickets for adults are £15 if paid in advance, or £16 on the door (subject to availability); tickets for full time students over age 16 are £6; for a child age 16 or under tickets are £1.
