Vox Dicentis Clama

Saturday 6 July 2013, 7.30pm
The turn of the Twentieth Century saw the beginning of a most fruitful period in English Choral writing. Composers including Hubert Parry, Edward Bairstow and Edward Elgar composed grand anthems for state occasions such as Coronations, Royal Weddings and Funerals. Many were orchestrated and performed on an even larger scale in subsequent concerts. Our concert programme contains some of the finest examples of the genre, such as Parry's epic Hear My Words, Bairstow's noble Blessed City and Naylor's dramatic Vox Dicentis.
Saturday 6 July 2013, 7.30pm • St. Mary's Parish Church, Melton Mowbray.
