Bristol Bach Choir present Haydn Nelson Mass and CPE Bach Magnificat

Bristol Bach Choir presents two exciting, colourful and melodic classical works with the Bristol Ensemble and soloists Sophie Kirk-Harris, Rebecca Chellappah, Kieran White, and Edmund Danon.

Haydn’s Missa in angustiis (Mass for Troubled Times) is more commonly known as Nelson Mass, and is one of his most popular choral works. The setting is by turns dramatic and contemplative, full of the composer’s trademark melodies and surprises. C.P.E. Bach’s Magnificat might be less well known but is certainly no less enjoyable. The text is broken into a number of sections enabling the composer to make full use of the soloists, chorus, and all the available combinations to create a wonderful vibrant setting of the Song of Mary.
