NDV Double Up! November Concert Series
Wednesday, 23 October, 2013 NDV Doubles Up!
Music for Two Choirs featuring
New Dublin Voices
and
New Dublin Voices!
New Dublin Voices teams up with New Dublin Voices for an amazing programme of music for two choirs. Topped by the gorgeous Mass for Double Choir by Frank Martin in the 50th anniversary of its long-delayed publication in 1963, the programme stretches all the way back to Giovanni Gabrieli and his Late-Renaissance, polychoral experiments in stereo surround-sound. It also stretches forward to 2008 and the rhythmic exuberance of Japanese composer Ko Matsushita in his setting of Psalm 100, Jubilate Deo.
In between, New Dublin Voices and conductor Bernie Sherlock sample double-choir music from other eras including the Classical – with Mozart – and the Romantic – with Mendelssohn – and reprise the beautiful Ave Maria by Franz Biebl who composed it for a local fire brigade choir near Munich in 1964.
Come and join the international award-winning New Dublin Voices, either in the intimate surrounds of St Thomas' Church, Mount Merrion on Saturday November 9th, or in the glorious acoustic and majesty of Christ Church Cathedral on Saturday November 16th.

Robert Pearsall (1795-1856) Lay a Garland
