Cantorelli Concert of Choral and Organ Music

Dress warmly as it could be cool in the church even with the heating on at this time of the year.

Highlights include music by Tallis, whose spare and perfectly balanced writing remains a cornerstone of English choral tradition; a masterful contrapuntal motet by J.S.Bach, Lobet den Herrn; a richly textured and deeply human  motet, Geistliches Lied (Sacred song) by Brahms; a warm and lyrical Stabat Mater by Josef Rheinberger; awe-inspiring harmonic motets by Bruckner and William Croft's Funeral Sentences (recently used at the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II); Professor David Baker will also perform solo music on a chest organ; Bach, John Cosyn, Henry Purcell and John Stanley. David is an accredited tutor with the RCO Academy. His book The Organ: a guide to its construction, history, usage and music is a standard text on the subject. He is founder and director of Halifax Organ Association. He is also choirmaster and organist at St. Michael's Church, Mytholmroyd.
