  CATHEDRAL CONCERT (EVENT 40) With the Festival Chorus and Philharmonia Finzi God is gone up, Vaughan Williams Five Variants on, Dives and Gerald Finzi’s exuberant Ascensiontide anthem ‘God is gone up’ is tonight performed in its orchestral version. Vaughan Williams’ Five Variants on Dives and Lazarus has a local connection as the composer collected the song from a Mr John Evans of Dilwyn. Tonight’s programme features a commission from James MacMillan, one of Britain’s most exciting contemporary composers. His piece Sun-Dogs sets a poem by Michael Symmons Roberts. Finzi’s beautiful Dies natalis sets words by Herefordshire poet Thomas Traherne, and the concert concludes with Vaughan Williams’ sublime Five Mystical Songs. Andrew Nethsingha & James MacMillan (pictured right) conductors, James Gilchrist tenor, Matthew Brook bass. |
