SUMMARY:St Joris Kammerkoor & Glasgow Chamber Choir - Amersfoort
DESCRIPTION:After the previous successful exchanges in 2011\, 2014 and 2017\, the Glasgow Chamber Choir is coming to the Netherlands for the fourth time in March for joint concerts with the St. Joris Chamber Choir. 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.).

SUMMARY:A European Odyssey
DESCRIPTION:Our November concert takes you on a musical journey around Europe\, from a joyful setting of a Galician lovesong from north east Spain\, to a spell-binding evocation of a night of snow\, Un Soir de Neige by the French composer Poulenc. \nFrom Finland we bring you Jakko Mäntyjärvi’s cantata Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae written in 1997 and dedicated to the memory of more than 850 people who perished in the shipwreck of the car ferry Estonia in 1994. The cantata is a setting of verses from Psalm 107 alongside news reports of the disaster in Latin\, combined with words from the requiem mass. \nAt this season of remembrance\, we also include mass settings from Scotland and Spain: Kenneth Leighton’s beautiful mass for double choir first performed in 1966\, and parts of Francisco Guerrero’s Missa Sancta et Immaculata\, written 400 years earlier in 1566. \nThe concert promises to be an emotional journey through time and space. \nTickets:\nTickets £10 Adults / £5 Students\, available online at: https://glasgowchamberchoir.ticketlight.co.uk/

SUMMARY:Sir James MacMillan: Seven Last Words from the Cross
DESCRIPTION:CONCERT START TIME: 3PM\nIn March we are planning a performance of what is considered one of Sir James MacMillan’s greatest achievements: Seven Last Words from the cross\, accompanied by a string orchestra. 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/

SUMMARY:War Horse: The Story in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Glasgow Chamber Choir are very excited to be perfoming War Horse: The Story in Concert at the Usher Hall\, along with our friends from the Edinburgh University Chamber Choir. \nThis performance combines Michael Morpurgo’s emotionally-charged story narrated live by the author\, with specially arranged music performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. \nThe tragedy of war\, the beauty of peace – and the enduring power of friendship. \nAward-winning author Michael Morpurgo reads his emotionally-charged War Horse live\, alongside specially arranged score by Adrian Sutton performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra\, and video artwork featuring drawings by acclaimed artist Rae Smith. \nWhen young Albert’s beloved horse Joey is sold to the cavalry and shipped to the horrific brutality of First World War France\, the boy embarks on a perilous mission to find him again – and bring him home. \nMichael Morpurgo’s captivating novel has touched the hearts of millions with its tale of deep friendship surviving amid the horrors of war.

SUMMARY:Tectonics 2018 - Miya Masaoka : The Movement Of Things
DESCRIPTION:Come and listen to Glasgow Chamber Choir perfoming at the BBC Tectonics festival 2018. Tectonics Glasgow is a Music Festival curated by Ilan Volkov and Alasdair Campbell\, proudly presented by BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. \nWe will be performing a world premiere by Miya Masaoka for orchestra and choir in the City Halls\, Glasgow \nMiya Masaoka resides in New York City and is a classically trained musician\, composer and sound/installation artist. She has created works for solo koto\, laser interfaces\, laptop and video\, sculpture installations and written scores for ensembles\, chamber orchestra and mixed choirs. She has a large body of work for solo koto\, live electronics and video. She often works with the sonification of data\, and maps the behaviour of brain activity\, plants and insect movement to sound. Her work has been performed at the Venice Biennale 2004\, the Miller Theater\, NYC\, Ircam\, Paris and V2\, Rotterdam. Awards and commissions include the Alpert Arts Award\, Bang On a Can\, Engine 27/Harvestworks\, Gerbode Foundation. \n“When we launched the first Tectonics festival in 2013 we were committed to bringing the best improvisers and new music practitioners from around the world to Glasgow\, to collaborate together and with local performers and artists. \n\nThat ethos has never changed and this year we welcome performers and composers from Japan\, Lithuania\, France\, Sweden\, Norway and the USA as well as UK and Scottish-based artists. Tetsuya Umeda from Osaka has been investigating the musical possibilities of spaces for years and he brings his unique creativity to a performance in the Old Fruitmarket.  \n\n\nLegendary ‘80s Japanese pop duo Syzygys headline Saturday night\, while New York’s Miya Masaoka brings the traditional sounds of the Japanese koto into the 21st century with a major new work. She’ll also be collaborating with British sax virtuoso Tony Bevan\, just one of several sax performers this year which include Mats Gustafsson\, who will also create a new work for the Old Fruitmarket\, and Dror Feiler. Feiler has written a new work for the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra\, where he’ll be joined by Gustafsson and Lasse Marhaug\, who also has a solo Sunday set. Local performers Acrid Lactations (Susan Fitzpatrick and Stuart Arnot) give a solo set on Sunday and join Joe Posset for his Grand Dictaphone Jaxx\, while Tina Krekels brings the mating rituals of the anglerfi sh up from the deep for her new piece Pardon\, I have tentacles.  \n\n\nAs well as Feiler’s new work\, there are World Premieres for the BBC SSO from Naomi Pinnock\, James Clarke\, Evan Johnson\, and Marc Sabat and a recent work by Kristín Þóra Haraldsdóttir. There’s also a focus on the French composer Pascale Criton\, who brings a new piece to the festival along with her regular collaborators and performers Silvia Tarozzi and Deborah Walker. For that work they are joined by one of the world’s leading exponents of the ondes Martenot\, Nathalie Forget\, who opens the festival with Bernard Parmegiani’s classic work Outremer. Crossing artforms has also been a component of this festival since its inception\, and this year there will be four performances of The Burnt Room\, which brings together dance and semi-improvised music\, staged in the Recital Room. It’s been seen in Berlin and Tel Aviv and we’re thrilled to bring it to Glasgow.” \nEnjoy yourselves\, \nIlan Volkov and Alasdair Campbell\, curators

SUMMARY:Sir James MacMillan Stabat Mater
DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets online here\nStabat Mater Dolorosa is considered one of the greatest Latin hymns of all time\, dating back to around the 13th century and often translated “the sorrowful mother was standing”. Set to music by large number of prominent composers\, here the Glasgow Chamber Choir are performing two beautifully contrasting settings from the 16th and the 21st centuries accompanied by a chamber orchestra. \nMacMillan \nFew living composers communicate with the emotional directness of Sir James MacMillan and his Stabat Mater received rave reviews at its premiere in 2016. For MacMillan ‘beauty is at the heart of our Christian faith’ and the Stabat Mater is profoundly shaped by his beliefs. \nThe piece sets the 20 verses of the Stabat Mater in four movements\, portraying the human relationship of mother and child\, alongside Mary’s role as intercessor between man and God. \n“Both sides of MacMillan are to be found here\, the devotional and the painter of bold dramatic canvases – the former in the ethereal writing for solo and ensemble voices\, the latter in the lacerating blows and feverish anxieties depicted in the string ensemble.”  Financial Times (2016) \nThis is an important musical challenge for the choir\, and a wonderful opportunity for Glasgow audiences to hear this powerful piece performed in the beautiful setting of St Aloysius Church. \nListen to Sir James MacMillan in this behind the scenes clip during the recording with The Sixteen and the Britten Sinfonia: \n\nPalestrina \nPalestrina was the most important composer of 16th century Italy.  His monumental Stabat Mater for unaccompanied double choir was composed at the end of the 16th century for Pope Gregory XIV and became one of the most admired pieces of music in the Pope’s private chapel. \nTickets – £14 Adults\, £7 Students\nBuy tickets online here

SUMMARY:The Tulip and the Thistle
DESCRIPTION:The Glasgow Chamber Choir are delighted to be performing in the historic setting of Dunblane Cathedral as part of the Dunblane Arts Guild’s 2016-17 programme! \nFounded in 1994\, it has developed into one of Scotland’s finest amateur choirs\, with a repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the present day. An ensemble of around 30 singers\, its current director is Michael Bawtree. Recent BBC radio engagements have included William Walton’s Henry V Suite with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra\, Sunday Worship live and Bryan Burnett’s ‘Get it On’ show live on BBC Radio Scotland. The Choir has promoted forming links with European choirs\, and has recently returned from a weekend in The Netherlands performing with St Joris Kamerkoor and Amersfoorts Youth Orchestra.\nThe St. Joris Kamerkoor was founded in 1985 based in Amersfoort and is currently directed by Wouter Verhage. Their focus is on the performance of sacred music at a high amateur level. Members of the Glasgow Chamber Choir are delighted to be re-uniting with their friends in spring 2017\, for the third such choral exchange.\nWe hope you will feel warmly invited to come to this joint concert in Dunblane’s magnificent Cathedral. The programme on Sat 6th May 2017 at 7pm includes great works by Parry (Blest Pair of Sirens)\, Howells (Take Him Earth for Cherishing)\, Finzi\, Stanford\, Vaughn Williams\, Liszt\, Bruckner and Bach. \nBlest Pair of Sirens is a setting by Hubert Parry\, of John Milton’s ode\, ‘At a Solemn Musick’\, for choir and orchestra. A review of the first performance in 1887 for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee states its resounding success –\n‘The choral writing is in eight parts and abounds in contrapuntal devices. At the same time the spirit and the accent of the words are carefully attended to\, as befits a work in which “sphere-born harmonious sisters\, voice and verse” are invoked to “wed their divine sounds\, and mix’d power employ”.’ Our rendering of this great work will replace the orchestral accompaniment with the Dunblane organ. \nCharles Villiers Stanford wrote his Magnificat in Bb for double choir as a peace offering for his friend\, Hubert Parry. The two men enjoyed a friendship which had suffered strain. Sadly Parry died before the work was published\, but Stanford dedicated it ‘to his name in grief’ in 1919\, when Stansford’s own health was deteriorating\, and he had seen the deaths of several of his outstanding pupils as a result of World War 1. Well acquainted with Bach’s Motets\, Stanford employs complex contrapuntal treatment of his material in this energetic work. \nThe death from polio in 1935 of Herbert Howell’s nine-year-old son left a permanent mark on his music. Howells’ most famous work Hymnus Paradisi was a memorial to his son that had its musical roots in the unaccompanied Requiem that he composed in the early 1930s. Howells composed the serenely beautiful setting of the medieval anthem ‘Take Him Earth\, For Cherishing’\, following the death of John F Kennedy\, though once again\, the real dedicatee was his son\, Michael. \nToward the Unknown Region was VW’s first major choral piece – a setting of Walt Whitman’s poem – and the work of a comparatively young man. But the music\, no less than the text\, has a transcendent timelessness that relates to any\, and every\, period in life. Stanford conducted the first performance in 1907\, and it was inspired by Parry’s ‘Blest Pair of Sirens’.

SUMMARY:Glasgow Chamber Choir with String Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:With the long-light time of year approaching\, come and fill an afternoon/evening listening to the intricate beauty of rich choral works by musical masters  J S Bach\, Buxtehude\, Michael Haydn and Mozart. \nJ S Bach’s motets\, ‘Furchte dich nicht’ (Do not fear) and ‘Kom Jesu Kom’ are most likely settings of biblical passages and poetry for funeral/memorial services. Both are written for double choir. Using highly complex structuring of musical material Bach takes us on journeys through dark despair with pressing chromatics\, into high realms of harmonic resolution\, hope and purpose. \nJ S Bach was a great admirer of Dietrich Buxtehude\, whose musical career led him from Denmark to Lubeck. Indeed\, Bach walked 200 miles from Arnstadt to Lubeck to meet and learn from Buxtehude. In these cantatas we can see the inspiring musical influences and ideas that Buxtehude uses to clothe with expressive warmth the texts that inspired him. \nMichael Haydn\, younger brother of Joseph\, takes us into the classical period. These liturgical choral works are little gems. Michael’s compositions fall in the shadow of his elder brother’s\, but Joseph regarded Michael’s musical skills highly\, even considering them superior to his own. \nMozart’s miniatures can’t fail to delight with their filigree interplay of musical lines. \nWe look forward to your joining us for this musical feast in the fine setting of St Andrew’s Catholic Church\, Glasgow on Sun 5th June at 3pm. \nTickets are available on the door or online from Eventbrite:
