The Renaissance Choir sings Poulenc’s “Gloria”

Add to my Calendar 13-07-2024 19:30 13-07-2024 21:30 36 The Renaissance Choir sings Poulenc’s “Gloria” The zesty Gloria by Poulenc, accompanied by Karen Kingsley, is surely one of the best-loved twentieth century choral works. It is contrasted with local composer Ian Schofield’s Stream of Life , freeing stress with the words of the Indian guru Rabindranath Tagore. We commissioned this piece for our 40th anniversary in July 2016. The programme also contains William Byrd’s Ne Irascaris, Gitanjali Chants by Craig Hilla Johnson and John Cage’s 4/2, a Zen-inspired work of inner peace.  Church of the Holy Spirit, Portsmouth DD/MM/YYYY
