Royal events inspire
composers to glorious heights. In Mozart’s
Coronation Mass that means high-energy choruses,
gorgeous melodies, and resounding brass fanfares
that invite nobility in each of us. The chorus
will also sing Taverner’s “Song for
Athene,” made famous in another kind of royal
event, Princess Diana’s funeral.
Glories abound as our marvelous soloists sing
crowning moments of opera. Rossini's brilliant
aria "Non piu mesta" celebrates the
joyful ending of his version of the Cinderella
story (La Cenerentola) sung as the heroine marries
the prince. Ralph Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical
Songs — settings of poems by George Herbert — combine
chorus, orchestra, and soloists in rich harmonies
and arching melodies.
