Interval
Fauré’s Requiem under the Direction of Director of Music, Mr Mark Hall.
Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem is a serene choral masterpiece that offers a comforting and intimate reflection on death, characterised by its gentle melodies, subtle orchestration, and a focus on tranquillity rather than dramatic intensity.
Dvořák’s Heirs of the White Mountain under the Direction of Director of Music, Mr Mark Hall.
Dedicated by the composer with ‘feelings of deep gratitude to the English people’, Dvořák’s Heirs of the White Mountain is a patriotic and dramatic choral work that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Battle of White Mountain, showcasing the composer’s nationalist sentiments through powerful orchestration, bold choral writing, and a celebration of Czech history.
