The Passing of the Year

This concert explores the turning seasons as a reflection of different stages of human experience. At its core is Jonathan Dove’s The Passing of the Year, a vibrant and lyrical work that moves through spring’s arrival to the fading of the year, capturing both joy and reflection. Alongside it, we present Clemens non Papa’s radiant 'Ego Flos Campi' , Elgar’s stirring 'O Wild West Wind!', Joanna Marsh’s intimate 'now i lay (with everywhere around)', and Pizzetti’s rarely heard Requiem, with its rich textures and expressive depth. Together, these pieces offer a shifting musical landscape of growth, change, and renewal.

20 minute interval, with a bar open at the back of the church.

Hesperos returns for our second concert of the year - a not insignificant year for choral singers, as we celebrate the anniversaries of William Byrd and Thomas Weelkes. Byrd wasn't above punning on his own name, so (without groaning) join us for a melodious and wood-haunting concert of music by Byrd, from his penitential music of exile and imprisonment, to his joyful psalm settings, paired with music inspired by, and sometimes imitating, the singing of birds.
