To a capacity audience at Buckfast Abbey, our Coronation Anthems concert began with the spectacular Zadok the Priest, one of Handel's Coronation Anthems that formed part of our repertoire for the evening. Directed by Matthew Searles, we continued with several more Coronation Anthems accompanied by organist David Davies, whose performance of Walton's Crown Imperial (Coronation March) was a feast for the ears! Our second half featured the music of Mozart, beginning with Ave Verum Corpus, a second organ solo where David treated us to Fantasia in F Minor, and completed by Missa in C Major (Coronation Mass) for which the choir was joined by soloists Denise Kehoe, Alice Risdon, Matthew Jeffrey and Michael Latimer. This was a truly joyous concert, a perfectly fitting end to Brent Singers 50th anniversary year.
Brent Singers returns at Christmas for our annual concert at St Petroc's Church in South Brent on Thursday 12th December 2024.
