SUMMARY:The Sixteen
DESCRIPTION:More seats have recently been released.\nChoral Pilgrimage: Author of Light\nWe’re delighted to welcome The Sixteen back to the Festival following the cancellation of 2020\, with their Choral Pilgrimage focussing on Hubert Parry’s Songs of Farewell\, which must surely rank among some of the finest choral works ever written. \nDeeply affected by WW1 with constant news of many of his pupils being killed in action\, Parry sought poetry that would reflect not only peace and unity and that search for a better world but also an escape from the horrors of war. \nThree short works by the poet and lutenist Campion\, coupled with medieval carols which explore patriotic ceremony provide a suitable variety of sound worlds to serve as an introduction for the rich sonority of Parry’s songs. \nSponsored by Mr and Mrs David Bruce\, The Greenwood Trust and Dame Theresa Sackler and an anonymous supporter\nConductor / Performers\nThe Sixteen\nHarry Christophers  conductor \nProgramme\nParry Songs of Farewell\nmediaeval carol Deo gracias\, Anglia\nmediaeval carol Saint Thomas honour we\nmediaeval carol O blessed Lord\nmediaeval carol Benedicite Deo\nCecilia McDowall An Unexpected Shore\nCampion Never\, weather-beaten sail\nCampion Author of light\nCampion Tune thy music to thy heart\nHowells Take him\, earth for cherishing \n  \nThe whole programme was spine-shiveringly radiant from first to last. \nTheatre Royal Winchester \nTickets\n£35\n£30 \n
