Chichester Psalms / Misa Criolla
The Scottish Chamber Choir invites you to a concert of music which embraces the visceral and the serene, the joyful and the hopeful at Old Saint Paul's Episcopal Church on 25th November!
About Chichester Psalms / Misa Criolla
Two iconic choral works: one universal message.
Ariel Ramírez’s fusion of Argentine folk idioms with the Latin mass and Leonard Bernstein’s forthright Hebrew setting of the psalms bring vigour and flavour to sacred choral music.
Misa Criolla and Chichester Psalms were composed in the mid-1960s, as societies and institutions embraced the new and the challenging. Today, their energy and unique musical accents ring as loudly as ever, transmitting an overwhelming sense of the human desire for spiritual fulfilment.
The versatile and hugely popular Scottish tenor Jamie MacDougall joins The Scottish Chamber Choir and an ensemble of piano, guitar and Argentinian percussion to perform Misa Criolla
Chichester Psalms will be performed in Bernstein’s compelling arrangement for organ, harp and percussion.
The concert will also feature two unaccompanied pieces: Roxanna Panufnik’s Love Endureth is inspired by ‘old Hebrew psalms’ and uses fragments of Spanish Sephardic chants, while Hyo-won Woo’s Gloria blends Korean musical elements with western choral techniques to create an exciting cross-cultural soundworld.
We hope you will join us for a concert of music which embraces the visceral and the serene, the joyful and the hopeful.
