SUMMARY:Seven Last Words from the Cross
DESCRIPTION:Join Glasgow Chamber Choir in the atmospheric surroundings of Glasgow Cathedral for an evening of compelling choral music\, centred on Sir James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words from the Cross\, performed with a string orchestra. \nWidely admired as one of MacMillan’s finest achievements\, Seven Last Words from the Cross is an absorbing and moving concert work. Written as a sequence of seven short movements\, the cantata reflects on Christ’s final utterances\, shaping them into a dramatic and emotionally charged musical journey. \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 programme also includes J. S. Bach’s Jesu\, meine Freude\, a landmark of choral writing that ranges from calm\, flowing lines to more animated\, rhythmic writing. This is contrasted with the spacious\, flowing textures of O bone Jesu\, scored in 19 parts\, by the Scottish Renaissance composer Robert Carver. \nHeard together\, the programme draws connections across five centuries of choral music \nTickets are available on the door or online at glasgowchamberchoir.ticketlight.co.uk
