麻豆社 Singers in Good Friday music
Repertoire for Good Friday by Victoria, Jonathan Weeks, Schutz, Leighton and Drayton with the 麻豆社 Singers. Also Our Classical Century: Britten's War Requiem - Agnus Dei.
James Weeks conducts the 麻豆社 Singers in a programme featuring his own work for choir and narrator, Orlando Tenebrae, as part of repertoire linked to Good Friday. At the heart of the programme are Lenten-related works that make no reference to Christian or religious specifics in their texts. The Orlando Tenebrae takes these ancient texts into a modern, secular frame of reference, where the theme becomes oppression, suffering and hope. The programme continues with two pieces inspired by Good Friday, with the 麻豆社 Singers performing first Kenneth Leighton's Crucifixus Pro Nobis and then, Paul Drayton's The Passion of Christ as told by Mark the Evangelist.
Also today, Our Classical Century, as we continue to explore repertoire that was crucial in the development of our contemporary music. Today, it's Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, from which we hear the Agnus Dei in the celebrated version featuring tenor Peter Pears and the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conducted by the composer. Presented by Hannah French.
