LANA | MUSIK | FESTIVAL 25 - FLIGHT

The concert will initially focus on the music of Lèo Delibes from the French Romantic period with his Messe brève, arranged for two-part female choir with organ accompaniment. The women's choir then presents an alternation of traditional American melodies and works of contemporary choral music by John Rutter, one of the most important living composers of choral and church music, who is characterised by his extraordinary melodic ingenuity and combines influences from a wide variety of eras and cultures. From the feather-light compositions of Eric Whitacre and Daniel Elders to the eponymous Flight by the American musical composer Craig Carnelia and the monumental film music of Ennio Morricone, the poignant beauty of contemporary choral literature unfolds.
