In Paradisum

Join us for an exciting and varied programme in the fine setting of St Paul's Covent Garden. This programme includes classics from Vivaldi and Haydn and a work by Andrew Campling, who conducts the Marcel Sinfonia and the London Docklands Singers. 

Programme:

Insanae et vanae curae by Haydn 

Gloria by Vivaldi 

In Paradisum by Andrew Campling

Haydn's Insanae et vanae curae is full of thrilling passages for the orchestra and dramatic renditions for choir. Meanwhile Vivaldi's ever-popular Gloria with it's unforgettable opening bars exudes a sense of pure joy; the poignancy of Vivaldi's setting of Et in terra pax is complemented by the melodic beauty of the Domine Deus and the exhilaration of the final chorus. To conclude our programme, Andrew Campling's In Paradisum is a lyrical and dramatic setting of the Requiem Mass; the work ends with these words (in translation): 'Choirs of angels receive you, and with Lazarus raised to eternal life may you for evermore rest in peace.'
