Four Vocal Soloists Bring Haydn’s "Lord Nelson Mass" to Life
Haydn’s distinctive and memorable mass stirs powerful emotions, ranging from solemnity and torment to joyous celebration. Chorus Artistic Director Christopher Thomas says the Mass has “an immediacy” that makes it accessible for new listeners. Thomas will sing the baritone part joining soloists Renée Richardson, soprano, Kyle Engler, mezzo and Christopher Hochstuhl, tenor.
The Beethoven Symphony begins with a mysterious and bareboned musical introduction, previewing the elements that erupt in each movement with playful rhythms and tunes. The symphony was described by one conductor as “a song of beauty such as no one else has ever written, presenting absolute novelty of color and creating an atmosphere in music justly termed ‘romantic.’”
