Let Serenata take you on a musical journey to the stars and back with their next concert on Saturday 3rd August at 7pm in Fakenham Parish Church. After the Aurora earlier in the year this summer will be special…..
Skylight explores aspects of celestial light from the sun, moon and stars through glorious songs, written exclusively for upper voices. The programme includes pieces by American, Canadian, Norwegian, Singaporean, British, and French composers who all share a common sky and find inspiration in the vast expanse set above us.
Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye kissing light, heart-sweetening light!……..
The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling,
And it scatters gems in profusion.
An extract from ‘Light’ by the poet Rabindranath Tagore, set to music by Marie-Claire Saindon
A cosmic canopy of energising and uplifting music awaits you, including short works by Morten Lauridsen, Sarah Quartel, Elaine Hagenburg, Jacob Narverud, Ēriks Ešenvalds, Marie-Claire Saindon, Benjamin Britten and Claude Debussy. You will also be treated to familiar favourites Fly Me to the Moon, Here Comes the Sun and Another Day of Sun (from La La Land).
