The Bach Choi r is pleased to announce that our rescheduled performance of this concert will begin 3pm Sunday 15 May\, at St Peter’s on Willis St\, Wellington.
\nThe title comes from Parry’s anthem Hear my wor ds\, ye people\, a work for choir\, soloists and organ which finishes with his own hymn tune Laudate Dominum (O praise ye the Lord). T he programme also includes Purcell’s joyful settings of < em>Te Deum and Jubilate in D\, and Mozart’s Vesperae solennes de Confessore\, K.339 — which includes the fam ous soprano solo Laudate Dominum. Lastly\, the Son of God Mas s by English composer James Whitbourn incorporates a soprano saxophone which gives the mass a very contemporary feel. This is an exciting programme and one not to be missed.
\nAdmission $30 / $2 0 unwaged / $10 for tertiary students with ID. Tickets are available from Marsden Books (Karori)\, choir members\, and from 6:30pm on the door.

Only one piece in the programme has ever been performed in New Zealand.\nMiserere for cho ir\, tubular bells\, organ and strings (2006/2007) was written by Dutch co mposer Wietse Stuurman (b. 1976). Stuurman studied music at Amsterdam Univ ersity with a special interest in ancient music\, yet his compositions are also influenced by contemporary composers such as Arvo Pärt\, and Henryk Gorecki. This work is a haunting setting of the psalm text.\nDutch compose r Evert van Merode (b. 1980) studied in Amsterdam. His work Stabat Mater d olorosa (2013) was originally written in 2011 for choir and piano. The Bac h Choir will present a version reworked for choir\, violin\, cello\, and h arp. In this piece one can hear Gregorian chant and influences by such com posers as Nadia Boulanger. This is an evocative work depicting Mary standi ng at the foot of the Cross.\nFlor Peeters (1903–1985) is quite possibly t he foremost 20th century Belgian composer of religious music. At the age o f twenty he was appointed Organist at St. Rombout’s Cathedral in Mechelen\ , a post he held for almost the rest of his life. He gave over 1200 organ recitals all over the world\, and wrote many publications\, including A Pr actical Method for the Accompaniment of Gregorian Chant (1942). A prolific composer of liturgical and organ music in particular\, he also wrote many songs\, piano and chamber music\, and concerti for organ and other instru ments. His Missa Festiva was composed in 1947 and uses Gregorian chant as a unifying device. The work is written for a five part choir and organ and shows Peeters’s fine sense of harmony\, with influences by Jongen and Fra nck. \nHuub de Lange was born in the Dutch city of Groningen in 1955 and studied at the University of Utrecht. He wrote in 2004 his seven movement Requiem in memory of his nephew. It is scored for choir and string quartet . This setting contains the familiar movements of Introitus\, Kyrie\, Sanc tus\, Pie Jesu\, Agnus Dei\, and In Paradisum\, but here de Lange differs from other settings of the Requiem and concludes with an abbreviated Te De um (We believe in one God) movement. This setting is a moving tribute to h is nephew and shows the depth of emotion felt by the composer.\nThe concer t begins at 2pm\, Sunday 11 September\, at St Teresa’s Church\, 299 Karori Rd\, Wellington.\nAdmission $30 / $20 unwaged.
