Haydn Symphony 104 & Harmoniemesse
Two Haydn masterpieces: London Symphony 104 and Harmoniemesse, from CBS Choir and Orchestra.
His London Symphony was the last of his final series, written in 1795 to crown a sensationally popular subscription season.
It combines Mozartian elegance and rustic folk dances with the drama and excitement of Beethoven, most obviously in the short hammer blows which propel the first movement.
Haydn's Harmoniemesse was the last of the six great Masses he wrote annually at the end of his life, incorporating all his symphonic skill.
For this concert, soloists will be Stephanie Waterhouse, Louisa Pilkington, Wally Enright and Ken Joblin.
The orchestra will be led by Natalia M. Lomeiko, and the Musical Director will be Don Whelan.
The cathedral musicians maintain an extensive repertoire of masses and motets, sung each Sunday at the 11am Solemn Choral Mass.
New members are welcome to the 7.30pm Wednesday evening rehearsal at the CBS Music Centre.
Sight-reading ability is expected. Opportunities exist for choral leaders, who enjoy unique opportunities to perform solo roles in significant Mass and motet settings with the orchestra and choir.
Leadership awards, and other scholarships are available to suitable applicants.
Those interested are invited to contact the CBS Musical Director, Don Whelan, phone 358-5873.
