My next concert


My next concert with the Philharmonia Chorus is at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra singing Te Deum by Berlioz on the 24th of October. This weekend I have to get on with learning the music as am so rusty with sight-reading.

I love the flyers they have printed up for the concert with the picture of stained glass above.

Here's the blurb from the publicity:

An evening of two contrasting choral masterpieces. Fauré’s sublime Requiem which includes the beautiful Pie Jesu and Berlioz’s monumental Te Deum featuring mass instrumental and vocal forces.

Here's a sample of the music. It's beautiful:

I LOVE Faure's *Pie Jesu.* When we did it at St. Andrew's we referred to it as "Jesus Pie." (like, you know, apple pie...)
