Benjamin Britten was himself born on St Cecilia’s Day and his Hymn to St Cecilia is a well-loved setting of poems by WH Auden. \nWe mark the 400 years since the death of William Byrd\, with his Mass for five voices\, written during the reign of Elizabeth I\, for use in secret by Roman Catholics who were forbidden to celebrate the catholic mass at that time.

Bruckner wrote this mass in 1866 on the occasion of the construction of the votive chapel of the new cathedral in Linz; the mass sounded for the first time in 1869\, in the open air and under the direction of the composer. \nIn addition to this mass\, the joint choirs will also perform two arrangements of songs by Mahler for eight and sixteen part choir by Clytus Gottwald (1925-2023). Gottwald’s choral arrangements of Urlicht\, from Das Knaben Wunderhorn\, and Ich bin der Welt abhanden kommen\, are characterized as recreating the beautiful sounds of the instruments in question using the unique qualities of the human voice (Clytus Gottwald passed away on January 18 2023). \nAs a contrast to all these late 19th-century choral works\, the choirs will perform James MacMillan’s ‘Who shall separate us’\, written and first performed for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral service. \nOur concert also takes place at the time of Shakespeare’s birthday\, and 2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the first publication of Shakespeare’s plays.  We celebrate this with Vaughan Williams’s settings of three Shakespeare songs. \nTickets: £15 Adults / £8 Students\, available on the door or online at: Glasgow Chamber Choir Tickets (ticketlight.co.uk) URL:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/event/bruckner-mass-in-e-minor-2/ LOCATION:St Mary’s Cathedral\, 300 Great Western Road\, Glasgow\, G4 9JB ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/April2023-A4-ip-v3-FINAL-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230325T200000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230325T200000 DTSTAMP:20260502T113036 CREATED:20220928T195144Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230228T205957Z UID:1527-1679774400-1679774400@glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk SUMMARY:Bruckner Mass in E Minor (Amersfoort) DESCRIPTION:After previous successful exchanges in 2011\, 2014 and 2017\, the Glasgow Chamber Choir come to the Netherlands for the fourth time in March 2020 for joint concerts with the St. Joris Chamber Choir. At the last minute we unfortunately had to cancel the performances in Amersfoort and Amsterdam and later in Glasgow for the well-known reason in 2020. This\, of course\, to the great disappointment of all involved.However\, we quickly decided that ‘postponement’ is different from ‘cancellation’ and that is why we have re-programmed them for the spring of 2023. \nThe monumental Messe in e-moll by Anton Bruckner for eight-part choir and fifteen woodwind and brass instruments is again the main part of the programme. Bruckner wrote this mass in 1866 on the occasion of the construction of the votive chapel of the new cathedral in Linz; the mass sounded for the first time in 1869\, in the open air and under the direction of the composer. \nIn addition to this mass\, three transcriptions for eight to no fewer than sixteen voice choir by Clytus Gottwald (1925-2023) of songs by Gustav Mahler will be performed. Gottwald’s choral arrangements are also characterized as recreating the beautiful sounds of the instruments in question to the unique qualities of the human voice (Clytus Gottwald passed away on January 18 at the blessed age of 97). \nAnd as a contrast to all these late 19th-century choral works\, the choirs each perform a work by the Scottish composer James MacMillan (*1959): the St. Joris Chamber Choir with its setting on Psalm 51 ‘Miserere’ from 2009 (which also fits well during this Lent) and the Glasgow Chamber Choir with the composition ‘Who shall separate us’ (written last year for and performed during the funeral ceremony of Queen Elisabeth II). \nIn anticipation of the joint performances in Glasgow next April\, the GCC has also scheduled Ralph Vaughan William’s ‘Three Shakespeare Songs’. \n The arrangements for wind instruments by our choir member Frits Gombert on orchestral works by Anton Bruckner provide a few instrumental interludes. \nThe complete program: \nAnton Bruckner/arr.

Richly imaginative\, the music captures the barren beauty of the Antarctic with icy writing for the strings\, penguin-centred escapades for the brass\, and an eerie\, other-worldly sequence for women’s chorus and soprano. Marking 150 years since the composer’s birth\, Martyn Brabbins conducts Vaughan Williams’s extraordinary masterpiece\, a cinematic experience that’ll give you chills – in every sense. \nScott of the Antarctic Live in Concert is presented by Big Screen Live in association with StudioCanal and generous funds provided by the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust.

It is steeped in the tradition of Gregorian chant\, woven into a modern web of sound. \nThe rest of the programme continues the Italian theme\, with three sacred pieces by Verdi: his Ave Maria and Pater Noster for mixed voices\, and his Laudi Alla Vergine Maria for female voices. While Verdi is best known for his operas\, he turned to writing sacred choral music later in life\, and these are three of his finest. \nOur final Italian piece\, Monteverdi’s Cantate Domino takes us back 200 years\, and brings us into the glorious sound world of St Mark’s in Venice in the 17th century. \nTickets available online from glasgowchamberchoir.ticketlight.co.uk and on the door.

After two years of lockdown\, choir members have chosen some of their favourite pieces from the GCC library\, and the all-time favourite Faire is the Heaven by William H Harris also finds a place in the programme. \nBach’s motets are both a challenge and a joy for any choir. Der Geist hilt unser Schwachheit auf is written for double choir and was composed in 1729. It sets words from St Paul’s letter to the Romans\, as well as the hymn Komm Hieliger Geist\, Herre Gott by Martin Luther. There is some dispute as to whether Lobet den Herrn\, Alle Heiden is by Bach\, but it is a fine motet\, and sets words from Psalm 117. \nHeinrich Schutz’s joyful motet Jauchzetdem Herren (Shout for joy to the Lord\, all the earth) was composed 100 years before the Bach motets\, in 1619 and is a setting of words from Psalm 100. It is set for two choirs which echo one another throughout. \nGeorge Shearing composed Songs and Sonnets from Shakespeare in 2001\, and they are popular settings of well-known texts in a jazz idiom. Eric Whitacre’s settings are full of romance and luminosity\, creating a web of sound. Lauridsen was born in 1943 and is best known for his choral works. His set of Nocturnes contain settings of poems by Rilke\, Neruda and Agee. \nTickets: Adults £10 / Student £5\, online or on the door. \nhttps://glasgowchamberchoir.ticketlight.co.uk/ \n  \n  \n  URL:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/event/midsummer-songs-sonnets/ LOCATION:Houston & Killellan Kirk\, Houston & Killellan Kirk\, 13A Kirk Rd\,Houston\, Johnstone\, PA6 7HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/June-2022-a4-ip-v0.2-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220326T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220326T203000 DTSTAMP:20260502T113036 CREATED:20220220T203155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220320T152054Z UID:1428-1648321200-1648326600@glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk SUMMARY:Flight of Angels - music for inner peace DESCRIPTION:After two years with very little singing\, we are delighted to bring you a varied concert of music from across several centuries. \nByrd’s luminous Five-Part Mass was written in the late 16th century and is considered a masterpiece of choral writing. Moving forward a century we bring you music by Johann Ludwig Bach\, a third cousin of the great JS Bach. \nFrom the classical period we will perform a selection of less well-known pieces by Mozart and Haydn\, and by other members of the talented Mozart and Haydn families. \nAnd finally\, moving into the 20th century we have the haunting music of John Tavener. His Song for Athene\, which incorporates words from Hamlet (May flights of angels sing you to your rest) is best known for having been sung at the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997. Tavener’s beautiful and austere Funeral Ikos written in 1981 has its origins in Russian chant. \nTickets: Adults £10 / Student £5\, online or on the door. \nhttps://glasgowchamberchoir.ticketlight.co.uk/ URL:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/event/flight-of-angels/ LOCATION:Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church\, Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church\, Saltoun Street\, Glasgow\, G12 9AR\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/March-2022-a4-ip-PRINT-Web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200614 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200615 DTSTAMP:20260502T113036 CREATED:20200303T202021Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200303T202129Z UID:1408-1592092800-1592179199@glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk SUMMARY:Summer Concert - Houston & Killellan Kirk DESCRIPTION:More Details to Follow URL:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/event/summer-concert-houston-killellan-kirk/ LOCATION:Houston & Killellan Kirk\, Houston & Killellan Kirk\, 13A Kirk Rd\,Houston\, Johnstone\, PA6 7HW\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/houston-and-killellan-kirk-2016-updated-photo.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20200613T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20200613T190000 DTSTAMP:20260502T113036 CREATED:20200303T201450Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200303T202158Z UID:1404-1592074800-1592074800@glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk SUMMARY:Summer Concert - Glasgow DESCRIPTION:More details to follow!

This time the monumental Messe in e-moll by Anton Bruckner stands for eight-part choir and fifteen wood and brass instruments as main part of the program. Bruckner wrote this mass in 1866 on the occasion of the construction of the votive chapel of the new cathedral in Linz; mass was first heard in 1869\, in the open air and under the direction of the composer. \nIn addition to this mass\, three transcripts are also performed for eight to no less than sixteen-part choirs by Clytus Gottwald (* 1925) of songs by Gustav Mahler. The choral arrangements of Gottwald are also characterized as recreating the beautiful sounds of the instruments in question to the unique qualities of the human voice. And in contrast to all these late 19th-century choral works\, the choirs each perform a work by a contemporary composer: the Glasgow Chamber Choir with ‘Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae’\, written in 1997 by the Finnish composer Jaakko Mäntyjärvi (* 1963) with inspiration the shipping disaster with the MS Estonia in 1994\, and the St. Joris Chamber Choir with the Miserere by the Scottish composer James MacMillan (* 1959). Both pieces also fit well with Lent. \nFor some instrumental intermezzi\, the arrangements for wind players from our choir member Frits Gombert on orchestral works by Anton Bruckner. \nThe complete program: \n– Anton Bruckner / arr. Frits Gombert: \n* Marsch in d minor (WAB 96) \n* Drei Orchesterstücke (WAB 97): \n– No. 1 – Moderato \n– No. 3 – Andante con moto \n– Jaakko Mäntyjärvi – Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae \n– James MacMillan – Miserere \n– Gustav Mahler / Clytus Gottwald: \n* from: Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen: “Die zwei blauen Augen von meinem Schatz” \n* from: Des Knaben Wunderhorn: “Urlicht” \n* from: Rückertlieder: “Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen” \n– Anton Bruckner – Messe in e-moll (WAB 27)\, for eight-part choir and wind instruments: \n* Kyrie \n* Gloria \n* Credo \n* Sanctus \n* Benedict \n* Agnus Dei \nThe concert starts at 8 p.m. The entrance fee is € 15.00 / young people up to 18 years free. \nThe Messe in e-moll will also be performed on Sunday morning 22 March during the Latin high mass in the Obrechtkerk\, Obrechtstraat 30 in Amsterdam (then (due to Lent) without Gloria and without Credo; starting at 11:00 a.m.).

This will be complemented by a Bach cantata. \nSir James MacMillan – Seven Last Words from the Cross\nWidely admired as one of MacMillan’s finest achievements\, his Seven Last Words from the Cross is an absorbing and moving experience in concert\, for performers and audience alike. The cantata sets the seven last sentences uttered by Christ on the cross\, meditating on each to form a dramatic and emotional sequence. \n“…probably MacMillan’s masterpiece… the maturity in this composition is astounding: the tonal structure of the seven settings\, harmony which can be spare or lush without ever being overwritten\, an inexorable sense of the drama in the text\, the balance between voice and strings.” The Guardian \nThe MacMillan is paired with JS Bach’s Easter cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden. Both pieces are accompanied by strings. \nJ.S Bach – Christ Lag In Todesbanden (BWV4)\nBach’s cantata Christ lag in Todesbanen (Christ lay in the snares of death) is one of his earliest church cantatas\, based on Martin Luther’s hymn of the same name\, the main hymn for Easter in the Lutheran church. Each section of the cantata is based on the same chorale theme\, and there are a mixture of solo and choral sections. \nTickets\nTickets are available on the door or save the queue and buy online with Ticketlight: https://glasgowchamberchoir.ticketlight.co.uk/ URL:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/event/sir-james-macmillan-seven-last-words-from-the-cross/ LOCATION:St Andrew’s Catholic Cathedral\, 196 Clyde Street\, Glasgow\, G1 4JY\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/7-Last-Words-FRONT-30pc.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20190223T193000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20190223T213000 DTSTAMP:20260502T113036 CREATED:20190118T205525Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190118T205525Z UID:1293-1550950200-1550957400@glasgowchamberchoir.org.uk SUMMARY:GCC and Renaissance Singers in Blackburn Cathedral DESCRIPTION:Glasgow Chamber Choir and The Renaissance Singers are joining together for a beautiful evening of music from Finzi\, Parry\, Bach and Laurisden ! \n  \nDirected by Samuel Hudson and Michael Bawtree in the beautiful setting of Blackburn Cathedral this is sure to be a fantastic musical evening. \n  \nTickets £10\, under 16s free.
