Oxford Spezatti

Another concert by the Oxford Spezzati Soloists and Orchestra at St. Matthew's Church, Kensington Olympia.

The programme was quite varied, and the Oxford Spezzati were in fine form as usual, performing works by Charles Wood (Hail Gladening Light), William Harris (Faire is the Heaven) Herbert Howells (Take him, earth for cherishing) and three motets by Brahms, followed in mthe second half by Josef Rheinberger's "Mass in Eb Major "Canticus Missae"

But a special feature of this concert was a setting for John Donne's "A Hymn to God the Father" by an upcoming young composer, Jonathan Bridcut, who was also singing in the choir;
