Vivaldi "Gloria" and Gjeilo "Sunrise Mass"
Saturday 15 November, 7.30 pm
St Michael and All Angels Church, South Street, Lancing, BN15 8AJ
Tickets £10, U16 £3
The wonderfully sunny nature of the Gloria, with its distinctive melodies and rhythms, is characteristic of all of Vivaldi’s music, giving it an immediate and universal appeal. "Sunrise Mass" is from the hugely talented and deservedly popular Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo. This piece is rightly finding its place in the choral repertoire with its searing emotional intensity and delightful lighter touches.

Brahms "Requiem"
Saturday 14 March (tbc), 7.30 pm
Assembly Hall, Stoke Abbott Road, Worthing, BN11 1HJ
A joint performance of this great work featuring the combined choirs of
The Boundstone Chorus and Worthing Choral Society with the Sinfonia of Arun.
Brahms began composing Ein Deutsches Requiem early in 1865, only a month or so after the death of his mother.
The profound sense of loss and overwhelming grief of that time is unmistakably threaded throughout the music, but there’s also a wondrous feeling of gratitude. Where most requiems focus on the dead, Brahms’ begins with the living. The first words sung are “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted”.
A transcendent choral work, with gloriously tender parts for baritone and soprano,
it is a work that speaks to the best of us.
