Programme and Notes:
Highlights from: Dvorák New World Symphony, Dvorák Te Deum and Beethoven Mass in C. Parry Jerusalem.
Dvorák's elegant Te Deum is twinned with his ever popular New World Symphony, a work written in the United States in the 1890s, blending the old European forms and the exciting freshness of the new.
The beautiful classicism of Beethoven's Mass in C is evident in this work which was written in 1807 at a time when his hearing was becoming profoundly worse. Beethoven's ability to continue to produce such music against such physical adversity is a measure of his genius.
Parry's setting of Jerusalem is a firm English classic which has charged English life since 1916. Not only sung every year at The Last Night of The Proms in London every year, it is a favourite at state ceremonies, worship services and even at sporting events.
About:
