    Gloria music for choir and brass

    John Manning, Herts Advertiser, July 2009

    Singing with brass instruments has a long and distinguished history, with the Venetian composers of the sixteenth century placing choirs of singers and brass players in all four corners of St Marks Basilica to dramatic effect. So for tonights concert St Albans Chamber Choir is delighted to be joining forces with Onyx Brass. The principal works in the programme are The World is Charged with the Grandeur of God (1969) by Arthur Bliss, a former Master of the Queens Musik, a setting of John Skeltons meditation on the Passion Woefully Arrayed by our conductor and one of John Rutters most popular pieces: Gloria. A short piece from off the beaten track, which has achieved a cult following, is Hanaq pachap kusikuynin (Heavens joy), from Renaissance Peru. Also included are two superb examples of polychoral motets by Gabrieli: Buccinate in neomenia tuba (19 voices in 4 choirs) and Exultet iam angelica (14 voices in 3 choirs) and short works by Schtz and Bach, and you will be blown away by Bruckners stunning motets Christus factus est and Ecce sacerdos magnus, which features the full power John Gibbons of the brass and organ.
    Since 1993 Onyx Brass has been dominating the international brass chamber music world. Dubbed easily the classiest brass ensemble in Britain by BBC Music Magazine, it has performed at festivals all over Europe and the USA to huge critical acclaim. Work with choirs forms a vital part of Onyxs work: in recent times the group has worked with the BBC Singers, the Brighton Festival Chorus, the Choir of St Brides, Fleet Street, as well as superb amateur choirs including the choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge.
    The concert is expected to finish by 9.30pm. Large print versions of the programme will be available. To receive publicity about our future concerts (either by regular mail or email) please telephone 01727 830871 or email [email protected].
