SUMMARY:Howells Hymnus Paradisi
DESCRIPTION:Vaughan Williams: Serenade to Music\nFinzi: Dies Natalis\nHowel
 ls: Hymnus Paradisi\n\nBristol Choral Society\nHannover Oratorienchor\n\nB
 ristol Ensemble \n\nConductor: Hilary Campbell\n\nSoprano: Nina Bennet\nTe
 nor: Nick Pritchard\nOrgan: Simon Hogan\n\nA summer treat focusing on love
 \, music and nature: Vaughan-Williams\, Finzi and Howells are the  trio o
 f well loved British composers who feature in this concert by Bristol Chor
 al Society.\n\nRalph Vaughan-Williams celebrated the 150th year of his bir
 th in 2022\, and Bristol has been ringing with his music ever since. This 
 concert showcases his Serenade to Music\, first performed in 1938 to honou
 r Sir Henry Wood on the occasion of his jubilee. Shakespeare’s words pro
 vide the lyrics for this piece\, and the moon will ‘shine bright in such
  a night as this’ inside the Bristol Beacon.\n\nComposed in the same yea
 r\, Howells’ ‘Hymnus Paradisi’ was inspired by the death of his own 
 son. Deeply felt and uplifting\, this piece has been an inspiration to com
 posers since its first performance at the Three Choirs Festival in 1950.\n
 \nFinally\, wonder and awe are also central to Gerald Finzi’s ‘Dies Na
 talis’\, celebrating the miracle of birth and life\, a cantata for tenor
  solist and strings.\n\nAll three of these composers are part of a proud B
 ritish tradition of collaboration and support\, in which established names
  still reach out\, both to each other and to newcomers. Come and be inspir
 ed!\n\nWe are delighted to be joined by members of the Hannover Oratorienc
 hor for this concert as part of an exchange visit. Bristol is twinned with
  Hannover and members of BCS had a great experience visiting in 2022 and s
 inging Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem (German Requiem) with the choir. We ar
 e looking forward to their return visit and showing them Bristol and shari
 ng our music making again.\n\n \n\nFor full event details\, visit: https:
