Crouch End Festival Chorus - a concert in the majestic surroundings of St Jude's, Hampstead Garden Suburb.
The theme of Crouch End Festival Chorus's latest concert is the night - not a night of darkness but one lit by the lamps of the Orthodox church, by the moon and the stars, and the lights of a ship at sea
Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil is more commonly known as his VespersWritten in 1915 and in contrast to his romantic orchestral music, the Vespers bring to life the ancient chant of the Eastern Orthodox ChurchWith an extraordinary variety of styles, colours and drama, it brings together the orders for the evening service of Vespers with the morning service of Matins and First HourAlthough he was not the first composer to make a setting of the All-Night Vigil, Rachmaninov's deeply complex work has long held its place in the international choral repertoire
The concert will begin with two short worksCrossing the Bar by Rani Arbo is based on the Tennyson poem and depicts, at one level, the start of a sea voyage but also the transition from life to death, and the future of the soul in eternity
This arrangement of Laura Mvula's Sing to the Moon was first made for the Eric Whitacre singers and was subsequently performed by the BBC Singers at the Last Night of the Proms in 2019"Sing to the moon, and the stars will shine" was something said to the Harlem jazz-singer, Adelaide Hall, by Laura's father and provided the inspiration for this deeply affecting piece.
