The Lark Ascending is one of the most popular pieces in English music. It shares the concert with Benedicite, another richly expressive work by Vaughan Williams, and lyrical orchestral miniatures by Delius. There are folk-song settings, including a new one by Mike Stubbs and two extended items by local composers: Hilary Burgoyne’s wonderful On a Strange Beach, with Mary Bowell on ‘cello, and the haunting Death and the Lady by John Moseley. Beth Hartless is the soloist in this while Patricia Heyes, so well-known to Merseside audiences, is the solo soprano in Benedicite.
For those who love the violin, Bruch’s Violin Concerto is being played, again by Leo Byrne, on October 12.
October 12 Bruch Violin Concerto
Is there a more expressive violin concerto in the repertoire? As played by the leader of the Cathedral Orchestra, Leo Byrne, this will be a very special performance. It shares the concert with two of Schuman’s mature masterpieces: his interpretation of Byron’s Manfred and the evocative Rhenish Symphony. This is a feast for all lovers of romantic music.
Our next concert, on November 9, includes romantic choral music by Fauré, Franck, Stanford and Parry.

November 9 Choral Classics
This is a must for lovers of choral music. Ranging over three centuries, many of the great pieces by Bach and Handel, Fauré and Franck Parry and Stanford are here, interspersed with organ works. This is a feast of well-loved classics: Hallelujah Chorus; Widor’s Toccata and many more.
