Vive la France! Camerata returns to St Matthew-in-the-City in October to present a programme of French music. Drawing from the best of the French masters, our anchor work will be the Duruflé Requiem, completed in 1947 and described as an elegant, luxuriant and spellbinding gem. We are thrilled to sing this with the magnificent organ accompaniment played by Philip Smith. The programme is rounded out with more Duruflé (the exquisite Quatre Motets) as well as Fauré’s serenely beautiful Cantique de Jean-Racine) and Poulenc’s Videntes stellam. We also welcome Megan Quatermass, who will accompany us on the piano. Celestial music indeed. In opposition we will sing Poulenc’s motet Timor et tremor and Fauré’s Les Djinns with its wild cries from hell. A nod to earthly troubles comes with Fauré’s Madrigal about men’s and women’s views of each other in love.
