Divine Liturgy, Divine Inspiration Tchaikovsky Liturgy of St John Christostom Ivan Moody psaltis Guy Protheroe conductor More familiar to many as a composer of ballet scores and symphonies, Tchaikovsky, together with Rachmaninov, also explored the rich heritage of chant written for the Russian Orthodox Church, and set about writing music for the liturgy that would combine the familiar chant with the rich harmonic language of the late 19th century. The Liturgy of St John Chrysostom lasted under an hour, and was performed with the appropriate chants that would be sung by the priest in a liturgical setting. The Choir was delighted to welcome Ivan Moody - composer, singer and now Orthodox priest based in Lisbon - as soloist. A late-evening performance, by candlelight, this was magical occasion. |

A Concert for St George's Day A popular selection featuring the best of the English Choral Tradition. Programme includes: Parry I was glad; My soul there is a country Elgar Give unto the Lord Harris Faire is the Heaven Gowers Viri Galilei Handel Coronation Anthem: 'Zadok the Priest'; Chandos Anthem: 'As pants the hart' Britten Choral Dances from Gloriana Vaughan Williams Three Shakespeare Songs John RutterThe Lord bless you and keep you Wesley Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace WaltonCoronation March: Crown Imperial German Choruses from Merrie England Henry VIII Pastime with Good Companye Trad. The Agincourt Song and speeches from Shakespeare's Henry V Ian Curror organ Dudley Hinton speaker Guy Protheroe conductor This programme had two contrasting halves. The first featured some of the most popular favourites from the English anthem repertoire, ranging from coronation anthems by Handel and Parry, through small gems like Rutter’s The Lord bless you and keep you, to Elgar’s majestic setting of Give unto the Lord. The second part featured the more secular pastoral side of English life, although still with a strong monarchical bent – there was music for two Elizabeths and two Henrys, plus of course the words of the ‘immortal bard’ - not only from Henry V but in settings by Vaughan Williams as well. |

The annual Good Friday performance of Stainer's Crucifixion Sir John Stainer wrote his 'Meditation on the Sacred Passion of the Holy Redeemer... interspersed with hymns to be sung by the congregation' for the Choir of St Marylebone Church in 1887 and it has been performed in the Church on Good Friday every year. Although the work fell out of favour during the 20th century (in common with other Victorian gems like St Pancras Station) it has enjoyed a considerable revival in recent years. The performance was conducted by Stephen Grahl, Director of Music at St Marylebone, who co-incidentally studied at Magdalen College Oxford, where Stainer was organist before moving to St Paul's Cathedral back in the 1870s. |
