Laura Cannell: Fragments and Folklore

Bute Park

Eight singers, a conductor, choral settings for the great biblical hymn about love, the Song of Songs, plus songs about flowers: the a cappella program of the British Marian Consort offers stimulation for all the senses and pure seduction. In addition, you experience music history in fast forward, starting with music of the late Renaissance, lingering longer with Benjamin Britten's Five Flower Songs , which are composed in the style of Edward Elgar, Charles Parry and Charles Villiers Stanford, and ending with two commissioned works. One of them, composed by the British Laura Cannell, dares to combine folk, old and experimental new music. This suits an ensemble that has earned itself the reputation of a vocal pioneering group in program compilation and presentation. Rory McCleery conducts the program, the intense sound of which should unfold optimally in the wide space of the Trinity Church in Speyer.
