It's that time again - time for the music sub-committee to meet to discuss future concerts. We've held a mini-consultation with members, in that we asked you to tell us what you would like to do. So far, works suggested by members include:
Mozart: 'Coronation' Mass
Puccini: Messa di Gloria
Mendelssohn: Elijah
Dvorak: Requiem
Obviously, we cannot promise to perform any of the above, but there are some really good suggestions which I am certain will feature in the mix of future concerts we create. If, anyone has any further good ideas, let me know, either by email, or by response to this post. The list of past repertoire can be found on a link on the right hand side of this page.
I suppose it would be worth stating, from my own point of view, that there are few works which I'm interested in conducting for a second time. Hence, any works we haven't performed ever or, at least, for a considerable period, would be high on my target list. That having been said, we are at a point where, having been directing the music for over 10 years, certain key works of the repertoire may well need to be given a further outing...

Suggestion for a future performance: Britten's Ceremony of Carols (last performed 1987)
ReplyDeleteAnother good idea, Margaret. I'll add it to the list in due course!
ReplyDeleteA suggestion is to do either Vaughan Williams Dona Nobis Pacem (last performed in 1991?) again or else Sancta Civitas (could not see it on the list). I really love both these pieces.
ReplyDeleteAn alternative might be Opera Choruses (arranged for choirs) as a change from the normal choral works?
Anyway, hope that is helpful...
