Brahms Requiem and Tragic Overture
2024-05-18 19:30 - 21:45 UTC | St Martin’s Church, Church Street, Epsom, Surrey, KT17 4PX
Our May concert features the magnificent Requiem by Brahms – perhaps the most unique of all Requiems. As Brahms himself said, it is less a Requiem for the dead than one intended to comfort the living; less a work of religion than a work of humanity.
Musically, its carefully balanced architecture is matched by an equally firm musical structure. The Requiem unfolds as a gentle, lyrical expression of consolation, through rich melody, untroubled sweetness and beauty, into episodes of monumental power.
This choral performance of the Requiem will be accompanied by Brahms’ Tragic Overture, a free-standing symphonic movement for orchestra.

Epsom Choral Society – Belshazzar's Feast
2024-07-13 19:30 - 22:00 | Cadogan Hall, 5 Sloane Terrace, London, SW1X 9DQ, United Kingdom
Epsom Choral Society and Barnes Choir with the Arcubus Ensemble present a celebration of English music
Belshazzar’s Feast is arguably the most exciting piece of choral music ever written. Conceived on a grand scale, it was originally scored for double choir, semi-chorus and full orchestra including piano, organ and two harps. However on seeing an early draft Sir Thomas Beecham commented ‘As you’ll never hear the thing again, my boy, why not throw in a couple of brass bands?’ Walton happily obliged and the result is a ‘cacophonous mash-up of the Lancastrian brass-band tradition, the fast pace of the parlour song, the theatrical ritual of Christ Church Cathedral Oxford, and the sheer vulgarity of English martial music of the time.
‘I was glad’ has been used at Westminster Abbey in the coronation ceremonies of British monarchs since King Charles I in 1626. This version was written for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902.
Vaughan Williams was inspired throughout his life by Anglican liturgy and music, the soaring architecture of its cathedrals, the English of the King James Bible and mysticism of the metaphysical poets. The ‘Five mystical songs’ are settings of poems by the priest and poet George Herbert (1593–1633)
Elgar’s much loved Serenade for Strings is an early piece in three short movements, written in March 1892 and first performed privately in that year; its public premiere was in 1896.
Parry’s ‘Blest Pair of Sirens’ ichoir and orchestra is a setting John Milton’s ode ‘At a solemn Musick’. It was first performed at St James’s Hall, London in 1887, conducted by its dedicatee, Charles Villiers Stanford.
