Autumn Concert, Saturday November 2nd, 2019, featuring
Requiem by John Rutter
Little Jazz Mass by Bob Chilcott
Marple Choral Society plus harp and instrumental ensemble.
Most people are familiar with the music of John Rutter through his work as a choirmaster, particularly Christmas concerts of carols (his arrangements of traditional carols and composition of very popular new ones, such as the Shepherd’s Pipe Carol). The Requiem is one of his longer choral works.
Bob Chilcott rose to fame singing Tenor with the King’s Singers (back when their output was largely on vinyl). These days he is better known as a composer and arranger. We had a test drive of the Little Jazz Mass at the singing day in May, and we’re very happy to be working it up for performance to a wider audience.
