Tapestry - Sacred Music from the Past to the Present
The Archdiocesan Festival Choir of Atlanta will present "TAPESTRY", a varied
concert of sacred music ranging from the 16th century up to the music of our
own time.
The featured work will be Georg Philip Telemann's
German Magnificat,
to be performed with chamber orchestra and soloists. Also included will be
music drawn from the treasury of great sacred music by some of the most
influential composers the world has known. Works by the Renaissance master
Tomas Luis Victoria, the famous Russian pianist/composer Sergei Rachmaninoff,
the quintessential Englishman Herbert Howells and the romanticist Felix
Mendelssohn, who celebrates the 200th anniversary of his birth this year,
will be performed.
