Continuum in Concert: 60th Anniversary of Clare Hall
Join Continuum for a special concert in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Clare Hall, as they return to perform in Robinson College Chapel, Cambridge.
The choir will present a rich programme of British music for the spring season. Beginning in the Renaissance, the first half features works by Byrd, Tallis, Morley and even King Henry VIII. A twentieth-century arrangement of Thomas Morley’s setting of Shakespeare’s O Mistress Mine leads into further Shakespeare settings by Vaughan Williams and Owain Park, Director of The Gesualdo Six.
The second half of the concert is devoted to the music of Gerald Finzi and Benjamin Britten. Marking fifty years since Britten’s death in 1976, the choir will perform his Five Flower Songs, followed by Finzi’s Seven Part Songs set to words by Robert Bridges. These exquisite miniatures truly encapsulate the English countryside in spring.
