Stanford: Mass in G & Rutter: Magnificat

A BRITISH CHORAL CELEBRATION: Stanford: Mass in G & Rutter: Magnificat

Wokingham Choral Society will kick off their 75th Anniversary season with these 2 magnificent works that demonstrate the richness and variety of British choral music.

In 1892, Stanford completed his Mass in G Major , one of the most substantial Latin choral works Britain produced in the Nineteenth Century. In 2014, it received its world première recording, featuring the Choir of Exeter College Oxford directed by George de Voil, now Musical Director of Wokingham Choral Society.

WCS will give what is believed to be only the second ever concert performance with orchestra of this opulent Mass. From a new meticulously prepared edition by George de Voil and James Speakman, the vivid colours of this tuneful and characterful masterpiece will come to life, showing such diverse influences as Schubert, Dvorak, Bruckner and Beethoven.
