Bach and Roth​

J S Bach's brilliant Magnificat - the Song of Mary - is paired with Alec Roth's celebration of times and seasons for the same forces. 

​

Roth draws his texts from a rich variety of sources. Starting with the well-known passage from Ecclesiastes that begins 'To every thing there is a season', he binds poetry from, amongst many others, Ovid, Blake, Herrick, Donne, Aphra Behn, and Edward Thomas, into a musical narrative divided into four sections - Spring Morning; Summer Noon; Autumn Evening; and Winter Night. The work is capped with Proper Exercise, a joyful after-dance or 'jig' in the Elizabethan  tradition.

​

We will be accompanied by the period instruments of Affinity Chamber Orchestra.
