Vierne – Messe Solonelle — Nottinham Bach Choir

In Nottingham Bach Choir’s summer concert, we will conjure up the atmosphere of a dark, incense-filled French cathedral through the medium of Louis Vierne’s powerful setting of the Mass, interspersed with movements from his equally stirring third organ symphony. By way of contrast, the programme will also feature four beautifully gentle and affecting motets by twentieth century composers from the UK and North America: Rebecca Clarke, Eleanor Daley, Imogen Holst and Amy Beach. An hour of sublime music in the inspiring surroundings of St Mary’s Nottingham, followed by tea and cake – surely an ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon in June!
