This concert features two reflective works by the most successful British composers at opposite ends of the twentieth century, both for Soprano and chorus.
Edward Elgar's The Music Makers is an ode to those who create music with words by Arthur O’Shaughnessy. The opening lines set the scene “We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams”.
John Rutter's popular Requiem has the sort of memorable melodies that are readily associated with his work whilst also being able to explore profound musical depths. The Requiem is dedicated to his father who had recently died when he completed composing the work in 1985. He combines the traditional Latin text with bible verses in English – notably Psalm 23 “The Lord is My Shepherd” and Psalm 130 “Out of the Deep”.
The choir will be joined by soprano soloist Zaira Palumbo who recently graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and is a rising star on the local classical music scene. This concert which will be accompanied by a small chamber ensemble is presented with the greatly appreciated support of Cromer Town Council and Norfolk County Council.
