  • Saturday 27th June 7:30pm until 9:15pm
A programme of glorious choral classics from the New Cambridge Singers under James Potter Tickets: £18 | Students £8 | Under 18s free
John Donne, Richard Crashaw, George Herbert – between them they represented a strand of poetry which became known as Metaphysical: a style at once profoundly spiritual, philosophical, and wryly humorous. Composers have flocked to set their poetry, which inspired some of their finest works: Vaughan Williams’ magisterial, moving Five mystical songs, Judith Weir’s haunting Vertue, and Gerald Finzi’s choral masterpiece Lo, the full, final sacrifice. This programme allows listeners to bask in the perfect union of words and music.   Programme:
  • Gerald Finzi Welcome, sweet and sacred feast
  • Hubert Parry My soul, there is a country
  • Judith Weir A wreath
  • Vaughan Williams Five mystical songs
  • Hubert Parry At the earth's round imagined corners
  • Judith Weir Vertue
  • Gustav Holst The evening watch
  • Gerald Finzi Lo, the full, final sacrifice
