SUMMARY:MAGNIFICAT!
DESCRIPTION:The Choral Foundations in Concert\nMagdalen College Choir | New College Choir | Cathedral Choir of Christ Church | Frideswide Voices Instruments of Time and Truth\nPeter Holder, Robert Quinney, Mark Williams, directors\n \nAn evening celebrating magnificence with The Three Choral Foundations, opening with Handel’s Ode to St Cecilia – the patron saint of music – a work that was so popular that it was revived nine times for performances by Handel during his lifetime.  Wonderful conversations between instruments follow in the unique orchestration of the ever-popular and colourful Brandenburg No 4, which will, tonight, be directed by Mark Williams from the harpsichord.\nThe evening will end with Bach’s gloriously grand Magnificat, with five soloists, a five-part choir, and – for the time – a large orchestra. Resplendence and jubilation marking our ‘Magnificent Oxford 2025’.\n Programme\nGeorge Frederick Handel               Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day, HWV 76\nJohann Sebastian Bach                   Brandenburg Concerto No.4 in G major, BWV 1049\nJohann Sebastian Bach                   Magnificat in D major, BWV 243\n
