3rd Come-and-sing Evening of classic German hymns
On Tuesday, 15 September from 7pm, With Cheerful Voice invites you to an evening of German hymns singing. German hymnody is one of the richest traditions in sacred music, and a jewel in European literary and musical culture. We meet again to sing a selection of classics from the last 500 years, in German, in this almost perfect setting. Full music and texts will be provided. As in previous years you will enjoy a short recital on the chapel’s historic organ. The evening will be led by Phil Price of With Cheerful Voice and the speaker this year will be Henrike Lähnemann, Professor of Mediaeval German at the University of Oxford, and Fellow of St Edmund Hall. Come and take this rare opportunity to sing these wonderful hymns in German, in London, and to enrich your knowledge of this beautiful tradition. A choir assembled for the occasion will perform a short choral piece. If you would like to sing with the choir please let Phil know in advance, and be ready to arrive early for rehearsal. Any questions, please do get in touch with Phil Price on [email protected].
