Stuttgarter Kantorei a cappella / Kay Johannsen - Stiftskirche Stuttgart

In the organizer's words:

|:Mendelssohn:| & English choral music

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Beati morti - Periti autem - Veni Domine - O beata trinita - Mitten wir im Leben sind

Samuel Sebastian Wesley Lead me, Lord

John Stainer God So Loved the World

Charles Villiers Stanford Beati quorum via

Edward Bairstow Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence

Herbert Howell's Magnificat

In the fourth year of our |:Mendelssohn:| cycle, this concert by the Stuttgarter Kantorei features Beati mortui and Periti autem, works for male choir for the first time, as well as the touching O beata trinita for female choir and organ and the eight-part Mitten wir im Leben sind, a complex and dramatic motet. Mendelssohn, who made numerous concert tours to England, strongly influenced composers on the island, and his influence extended from Wesley (1810-76) to Stanford (1852-1924) and even into the 20th century with Howells (1892-1983). Lead me, Lord is a motet that most British choral singers will be able to sing without notes.
