Harrow Choral Society’s Easter Concert
Saturday April 5, 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm
st albans church
Following its very successful Christmas Celebration Harrow Choral Society is working towards its Spring Concert when the 90-strong choir will perform sacred music for Easter by Romantic composers of the late nineteenth century.John Stainer’s Crucifixion is a musical narration of the Passion of Christ, first performed in 1887 in St Marylebone Church in London. Comprising choruses, solo arias, recitatives and chorale-like hymns, the structure of The Crucifixion closely follows Bach’s Passions. The well-known chorus God so loved the World is often performed as a stand-alone piece and several of the hymns have passed into the popular repertoire.
Joseph Rheinberger’s Stabat Mater, written at the same time as The Crucifixion, is another moving interpretation of the Easter story. In this setting of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary the composer uses changing harmonies to transform the atmosphere of suffering to one of hope and salvation. Rheinberger wrote the piece while recovering from illness, so his Stabat Mater has a personal inspiration. Anton Bruckner’s beautiful motet Christus Factus Est is a deeply expressive setting of the traditional Easter liturgy which owes much to the influence of Richard Wagner. The programme will also include John Sanders’ setting of The Reproaches.
The choir will perform under the baton of Music Director Sam Evans, accompanied on the organ by Paul Ayres and by the Byron Ensemble. They will be joined by tenor Thomas Herford and baritone Chris Webb.Eastcote House Gardens, book and plant sale

For our final meeting of the Spring season we are pleased to welcome City of London guide Eleanor Bloom who will tell us about Newgate Prison which was situated at the corner of Newgate Street and Old Bailey Street just inside the City of London, by a gate in the Roman London Wall. For much of its history, a succession of criminal courtrooms were attached to the prison, commonly referred to as the “Old Bailey”. The present Old Bailey now occupies much of the site of the prison.Visitors are welcome (£3 donation). Any changes to these arrangements will be posted on the RNELHS website.
