VAUGHAN Williams’s Mystical Songs and Brahms’s German Requiem form the 7.30pm programme for the University of York Choir’s concert at Central Hall, University of York, on Wednesday.
Vaughan Williams’s piece, dating from 1911, sets poems by George Herbert, and he offers various accompaniment options including piano, the option chosen here.
A German Requiem is Brahms’s longest work, composed between 1865 and 1868, and the accompaniment on Wednesday will be his own arrangement for piano duet, allowing the powerful choral lines their full impact.
The pianists will be Catherine Laws and Nicky Losseff and the vocal soloists will be Catrin Woodruff, soprano, and Mark Rawlinson, bass. Tickets: 01904 432439 or YorkConcerts.co.uk
