Handel and his London Contemporaries
19 March 2016 19:30 at Ladywood ARC, B16 8TF
Enjoy one of Handel’s finest works, the lively ‘Dixit Dominus’, written in the Italian style when he was just 22 years old. Handel’s Chandos Anthem no 9, written in England 10 years later, features an operatic sense of drama in a smaller scale work, ‘O Praise the Lord with one consent’.
Our string orchestra will play the Sinfonia in B flat by another well known musician of the London Baroque period: William Boyce, Master of the Kings Musick and organist at the Chapel Royal. Finally, the choir will sing the beautiful setting of the Salvator Mundi by John Blow, Purcell’s teacher and predecessor at Westminster Abbey.
