DESCRIPTION:This concert for Remembrance combines music from England and F
 rance which was composed during the world wars of the 20th century.  Huber
 t Parry’s lush double choir setting of words from Psalm 39\, the last of
  his Songs of Farewell\, is a plea for certainty and salvation written at 
 a time when his students were being killed and gassed on World War 1’s w
 estern front. \n\nMaurice Duruflé’s Requiem was written in response to 
 a commission by the Vichy government during World War 2 but completed afte
 r the Allied liberation.  It sets most of the traditional Latin text using
  chants from the Gregorian mass for the dead but accompanies them with lus
 h choral harmony and a famously virtuosic organ part.\n\nThe beautiful ren
 dition will be performed by Birmingham Cathedral’s Choir of Girls and Lo
 wer Voices.\n\n\nDoors will open at 1800 with unreserved seating throughou
 t the cathedral. The performance will start promptly at 1900.\n\nRefreshme
 nts will be served from our bar before the performance.\n\nTickets will be
  available on the door\, subject to availability. We recommend booking in 
 advance.\n\nTickets are non-refundable.
