ECC A Polyphonic Journey
A MUSICAL JOURNEY
Conductor: Mark Biggins
Epsom Chamber Choir is asking its audience to leap aboard their time machine and join them on an intriguing Polyphonic Journey.
Focusing on polyphonic music – interweaving lines of independent melody - their October concert will present music from the earliest plainsong to present-day composers including Roderick Williams and their very own Helen Williams. On the way they will visit Josquin des Prez, Byrd, Tallis and another contemporary composer, Roxanna Panufnik. The concert will culminate with Imogen Holst’s beautiful Mass in A minor.
“An authentic updating of sacred music can take place only in the lineage of the great tradition of the past, of Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony.” Pope Benedict XVI
