The concert opens with one of those triumphant and exciting pieces, written for a special occasion (in this case, the birthday of Queen Mary ll). Henry Purcell was the court composer at the time and continues to be recognised as one of the great British composers. ‘Tune all your voices and instruments play, to celebrate this triumphant day’ exclaim the assembled choir. We are joined by a chamber orchestra with trumpets and oboes as well as four ‘well-tuned’ soloists.
Seaford Baptist Church has excellent acoustics. Wherever you sit, you will be surrounded by the sounds of 80+ voices, trumpets, oboes and a variety of string instruments. Just what Purcell planned as a birthday tribute. ‘Happy Birthday to You’, your Majesty, on a grand scale.
From an intimate, if triumphant birthday ode we move to a work written by Mozart, to be sung in Salzburg Cathedral on an important feast day. His second Vespers, this one written to be accompanied by an orchestra with trumpets (there’s a theme here!), is ‘Vesperae solennes de confessore’ and it displays all the pomp and ceremony that was expected at the time. We will sing all six movements in succession, but in the cathedral they would probably have been broken by prayers and antiphons to make a whole service.
