Dvorak Mass in D is an exquisite work rich in melodic and harmonic imagery, whose exceptional quality destined it for far greater things than a mere occasional piece. Originally composed for the consecration of a chapel in Lužany, it features a blend of traditional church music and Romantic, sometimes folk-like harmonies. Penshurst Choral Society will be accompanied for this piece by a Wind Quintet. Come and hear this beautiful piece.
Written by Dvorak's disciple and fellow countryman Janacek Otcenas: (The Lords Prayer) composed the piece in 1901 and revised it in 1906. It is a dramatic, six-movement cantata for tenor, mixed choir, harp, and organ. Inspired by paintings by Józef Mehoffer. A very special concert.
Both pieces are conducted by our talented Director Joe Tobin.
We look forward to welcoming you.
