BRAHMS Requiem
VAUGHAN WILLIAMS
Fantasia on Christmas Carols
Saturday, November 8, 2008, 7:30 pm
St. Paul's Cathedral, Worcester, MA
$25 adults, $22 seniors/students, New! $10 children under 12

Salisbury Singers will perform the magnum opus of Johannes Brahms (1833-1897), a masterwork that redefined the requiem to offer comfort and solace to the bereaved. The text of Brahm's Requiem is derived from Martin Luther’s German vernacular translation of the Bible and was translated to English by the late Dr. Lara Hoggard, who spent some 20 years meticulously researching the German text. His translation more accurately reflects the original and more closely fits the spirit of the work, making it more accessible to English-speaking audiences. Also, the chorus will treat audiences to a lovely holiday prelude with Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on Christmas Carols.

HAYDN The Creation
Saturday, April 25, 2009, 7:30 pm
St. Stephen's Church, Worcester, MA
$25 adults, $22 seniors/students, $10 children under 12
This monumental oratorio of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) vividly and joyously depicts the seven days of creation according to the Book of Genesis, from prevailing chaos to the creation of light, the Earth and her creatures, and Adam and Eve. With orchestra and featured soloists, Salisbury Singers will recreate Haydn’s greatest expression of music and faith.
