GLORIA! A classical choral concert presented by the Bay of Islands Singers under the baton of John Jackets. The choir is joined by a stunning quartet of young soloists: Tania Priebs (Kerikeri), Claudia Evans (Whangarei), Scott Bezett (Hamilton), and Jarvis Dams (Auckland). The choir and audience will also enjoy the fine playing of our visiting orchestra, with Michael Bell on the organ.
It is rare to hear full-length choral works in concert these days, but the BOI Singers strive to bring such wonderful music from this repertoire to audiences in the Far North. This concert presents a varied programme of music from the baroque, romantic, and contemporary eras.
Vivaldi’s Gloria needs little introduction. Composed around 1715, it has become a hugely popular work with choirs and audiences alike. It features all the familiar Vivaldi characteristics—energetic rhythms and memorable melodies—and includes sections for soprano and alto soloists.
No concert would be complete without something by the master himself, J.S. Bach. This programme includes the Sinfonia from Cantata BWV29, known for its stunning organ part, as well as arias from his Magnificat, showcasing our alto, tenor, and bass soloists.
Schubert had a tragically short life, but he was a prolific composer. His Mass in G, completed in less than a week in 1815, was originally scored for soprano, tenor, and bass soloists, mixed choir, strings, and organ. It was once thought that parts for oboes, bassoons, trumpets, and timpani had been added by Schubert's brother Ferdinand, but the recovery of the original parts in Schubert's hand confirms that the revised orchestration was his own work.
American composer Samuel Barber’s glorious Adagio for Strings is an arrangement of the second movement from one of his string quartets. Later, in 1967, he arranged it again for choir with a setting of the Latin text Agnus Dei. For this concert, the two versions are combined to create a rich and deeply moving rendition.
The concert concludes with Mozart’s joyous Regina Coeli (Queen of Heaven), a vibrant celebration of the Virgin Mary, probably composed in 1779 while he was living in Salzburg.
