LANCASTER SINGERS (cont)
wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton. Tonight we will be performing ‘Crucifixus’, a beautiful example of Mealor’s contemporary harmonic and rhythmic music. Josef Gabriel Rheinberger (1839-1901) wrote eighteen mass compositions. This concert’s Opus 109 in E Flat Major is considered distinctive and echoes the compositional style of early Renaissance composers, being written a cappella for a double choir. Deceptively simple, the music peels back the centuries and takes us back to the exquisite harmonies of an earlier age. We hope you’ll be able to join us at the Priory in Lancaster to hear this wonderful music. Tickets £12. Available from www. lancastersingers.org on the door or call 07956 115 126 Lancaster Singers, an auditioned choir, was formed almost 50 years ago. Under the baton of our current, dynamic Director, Duncan Lloyd, we give five or six concerts a year in venues ranging from tiny village churches to large concert halls. The repertoire is eclectic - from early renaissance music to the very latest compositions by some of the world’s greatest living choral composers. We rehearse during term times at Lancaster University. We also have some great social events during the year. If you’re looking to join a modern, vibrant, and accomplished choir, why not come along to a couple of rehearsals after Easter and check us out?
