[2025 Weiwuying Organ Festival] Wayne MARSHALL & Planetesimal Chorale Ars Spacium - Luminous Hymns

British organist Wayne MARSHALL joins the Planetesimal Choir for an evening of French and British masterpieces, blending organ and voice. The concert opens with L. VIERNE's Messe solennelle, where organ and chorus create a profound sacred dialogue. British sacred music follows with E. L. BAINTON's And I Saw a New Heaven, H. B. GARDINER's Evening Hymn, and C. H. H. PARRY's I Was Glad.

In the second half, C. M. WIDOR's Messe solennelle fuses organ and chorus powerfully. MARSHALL's Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, with jazzy harmonies, reinvigorate traditional sacred music. PARRY's Hear My Words, Ye People elevates the spiritual call, and DEBUSSY's Clair de lune, arranged for choir and organ by LIU Shen-Hsien, offers a peaceful finale. These works weave organ and voices, illuminating the night with spiritual grace.
