Eternal Light: A Requiem
16 November 2024, 7:30 pm
St Barnabas Church
Note: this event has passed.
Traditionally a prayer for the salvation of the departed soul, Howard Goodall’s requiem centres on those who are left behind to grieve. It celebrates the healing power of music to create a sense of solace whilst acknowledging the unbearable loss and emptiness that accompanies the death of a loved one. Like Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, Goodall’s Eternal Light is a requiem for the living, with poetry and hymns alongside the more familiar text of the Mass, to focus on interrupted lives.
The programme also includes Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Five Mystical Songs and other choral favourites by Edward Bairstow and Charles Villiers Stanford. With the London Mozart Players. Peter Asprey conducts.
The concert is now SOLD OUT!
There maybe some returns available on the door from 6.45pm on the night.
